Sheep Island, Kimberley Coast

Sheep Island, Kimberley Coast

7 July 2006. Sheep Island was once used by European settlers as a place for keeping sheep. The 19th-century attempts by Europeans to settle in the area are tragic stories of misplaced optimism (fueled by, in many cases, outright lies by promoters).

This photo shows some of the Kimberley’s famous boab trees. Not all of the island is this rocky.
