The Shark Bay World Heritage Area is located at the most westerly point on the Australian continent. Covering about 22,000 square kilometres, Shark Bay’s waters are known for having some of the world’s most exceptional natural features. When viewed from the air, the vibrancy of colours of the earth and sea fuse together to create some of the most captivating frames of nature. All photos were captured while flying in a Cessna 206 aeroplane.
