On entering Quobba Station
A massive big sign, "King Waves Kill". Exploring the western coastline of Quobba Station, you can appreciate the terrain of this harsh and extremely unpredictable coastline. Many fishing enthusiast, have lost their life trying to get the BIG one. Many plaques along the coast line dedicated to these people with spaces for the future. CRAZY!!
