The Abrolhos Islands and their surrounding coral reef communities form one of Western Australia's unique marine areas.
The Islands lie about 60 kilometres west of Geraldton, on the Western Australian coast, and consist of 122 islands clustered into three main groups: the Wallabi Group, Easter Group and Pelsaert Group, they extend from north to south across 100 kilometres of ocean.

​

Lying in the stream of Western Australia's warm, southward-flowing Leeuwin Current, the marine environment surrounding the Abrolhos is a meeting place for tropical and temperate sea-life, forming one of the State’s unique marine areas.

​

Large breeding colonies of seabirds exist on many of the Abrolhos Islands, and depend for their food on schools of pelagic baitfish. More than 90 species of seabird have been identified. Smaller seabirds, in turn, provide food for white breasted sea eagles which occur in unusually large numbers throughout the Abrolhos Islands.

Abrolhos waters are home to charming marine mammals like the Australian sea lion and the bottlenose dolphin. Migrating humpback whales also inhabit Abrolhos waters during their migration from around July to October.

​

The Houtman Abrolhos Islands National Park was created in July 2019. Its creation coincided with the 400-year anniversary of Dutch navigator Frederick de Houtman’s sighting of the Abrolhos.

For four generations the Liddon family have fished for Rock Lobsters, in 1999 we started a pearl farm in the water surrounding Post Office Island in the Pelsaert Group, the Southern group of the Abrolhos.

The pearl farm has become a great attraction for the growing tourism in the area, we promote a sustainable experience based on history, nature and preserving this unique area.
