The
Houtman Abrolhos Islands, named so in the 16th century, lie 64 km
of the coast of Geraldton and are used as a base for rock lobster
fishing. Visitors are not permitted to camp on the islands, due to
the high natural and conservational value of the place. For more information
on the Islands please see Abrolhos
Islands Visitor's Guide. This
part of the site is devoted to Mike and Kath Davidson and Garry and
Loraine Augustson, who made our trip to North Island possible.

A
small Beechcraft airplane from Geraldton's Shine Aviation takes about
30 minutes to get to the North Island. Our trip was a bit longer,
as we were taken over some spectacular groups of islands, including
Batavia Graveyard. For more information about famous mutiny on Batavia
please see Grey
Company - The Batavia Story.
