What it's actually like
Gnaraloo is a working pastoral station on the coast of Western Australia, 150 km north of Carnarvon, at the southern entrance of the Ningaloo Marine Park and at the end of the road. The last 75 km are unsealed. Two places draw riders: Tombstones, a heavy left-hand barrel over the reef, and Gnaraloo Bay, where the station points to flat water by its boat ramp.
No source names a school, a hire shop or a rescue service here.
The Tombstones car park is a short 2 km drive south of the 3 Mile Camp.
