Gascoyne Travel
 The Gascoyne region is more than 136,000 square
kilometres large and located in the extreme western
coastal region of Western Australia.
The Gascoyne abuts the
Pilbara to the north and the Mid West to the east and
south-east, while the Indian Ocean lies to the west.
Coral Bay is small village in Western
Australia, renowned for Ningaloo reef, Australia's only
fringing reef. Though recordings say that people came here back
in 1884, it was not until 1968 that any serious settlement took
place.
