BULLARA STATION, WA TRAVEL
The Exmouth Gulf is a happening place. The coastal town of Exmouth, 1250km north of Perth, is a springboard for bucket-list experiences: swimming with the ocean's ‘big three’ – whale sharks, humpback whales and manta rays – and discovering the flourishing World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef flipper strides from shore.
But instead of driving straight to Exmouth, consider exploring dry lands (just for a few days) by discovering what's on the doorstep of the Exmouth Gulf. The region's best-kept secret, Bullara Station, is 91km south of Exmouth and offers an outback experience like no other – cheeseburger pies included.
Where beef meets boujee
My partner and I pulled into Bullara Station, just off Minilya-Exmouth Road. It was a welcome change of scenery from our previous stop, frolicking the calm waters of Coral Bay (69km south). Of course, coastal life always makes for a good time, but the magic of red desert sands awaited.
We parked the car next to a couple of resting cows
