falling in at quobba or falling in at sugar loaf rock or cape leuwin

Whistling rock would win hand down as the worse place of the three.Its possible to swim down the northern side of Sugarloaf and the southern side of Leuwin.At Whistling there is no place to swim into quieter waters due to the cliffs both sides and the oysters waiting to cut you to ribbons on the ledges.

The dangerous part of all three is the amount of damage you suffer in the initial hit from the wave before you actually end up in the drink.

whistlers , not a safe place,the third picture shows a yellow concrete plague to the right of the rear of the car is in memory of my work mate brian reis who went in many years ago, he was fishing the top of the rock in ideal conditions not an once of swell or waves for 4 to 5 hours , he decided it was safe to go looking aroung the bottom ledge for crabs as it had been dry all morning and a 1 mt sneaker came through and washed him in on the north side, he got dragged out by the current very quickly , couldnt swim to well and got done by the sharks , two minutes later the rescue boat turned up from quobba, keep the eyes in the back of your head open

Sorry to hear that JDI

There are plenty of plaques/life rings up there at most of the standard fishing points, serves as a good reminder.

Guys were balloning off whislting rock (yes it does whistle) for a few months straight apparently cleaning up and were staying a few more .....staying at quobba station and not sure what they intend doing with all (and I mean alot)of the fish ????? Catch a 30lb mack or a cobia a day and you work out the kgs.

You had no chance of grabbing that spot from them (early am bolt/sleep in car), but hey they could have it, didnt tickle my fancy too much, especially watching them lug a helium cylinder to it and then swell pick up as they were returning..

H H , quobba still amazes me, we started up there in the mid 70 s and the place was alive with fish everywhere, then for a few years it slowed down and now it seems to be active again , like anywhere theres good and bad days,and there some guys hit it to hard and cant add up their quotta. i love now going through to Gnaraloo with the boat but the Quobba coastline is very impressive and still enjoy going there and since our early days theres alot more coast line thats fished, we gave up on steep point for the same reason, because guys get up early and put their rods in the holder on the cliff face and claim an area thats just for them for the day even if their not fishing
