Shark Bay is a World Heritage
Site in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. It is an area centred
approximately Coordinate, 800 kilometres north of Perth, on the westernmost
point of Australia. An expedition led by Dirk Hartog happened upon the area in
1616, becoming the second group of Europeans known to have visited Australia.
Shark Bay was named by William Dampier, on 7 August 1699.
The area has a population of fewer than 1,000 people and
a coastline of over 1,500 kilometres.
