Dirk Hartog Island - Remote island camping in Western Australia

In this episode we head out to Dirk Hartog Island, one of Australia’s most remote island camping destinations!
Dirk Hartog Island is an island off the Gascoyne coast of Western Australia, within the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. It is Western Australia's largest and most western island accessible by barge from Steep Point if you are taking your vehicle over (which we did).
Known as Wirruwana by the traditional owners of the island, the Malgana people, it was given its present name by Dirk Hartog, a Dutch sea captain who first encountered the Western Australian over 400 years ago in 1616.
We start our adventure from Steep Point where we catch the barge over to Dirk Hartog Island. First stopover is a night at the homestead before heading out to Louisa Bay Campground after some epic off-roading,
With Louisa Bay Campground as our base we explore:
• Notch Point Campgrounds
• Cormorant Lookout
• Sandy Point Campground
• Green Hat Beach
• Charlies Harbour Lookout
• Quoin Head Campgrounds
Enjoy

Have some yak fishing mates that have stayed and yak fished Dirk Hartog. Stunning spot and nice snapper! Have you guys ventured to Wilderness Island? Fishing there is sensational!
