Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery & Visitor Centre — Attraction in Denham

My visit to the Shark Bay Discovery Centre was transformed into an unforgettable experience, thanks to the stunning exhibition of aerial photography by ND5. This collection offers a unique perspective of Shark Bay that is both breathtaking and inspiring, making it a must-see for both photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

The ND5 exhibition showcases a series of aerial photographs that capture the essence and beauty of Shark Bay from above. Each photograph tells a story, inviting viewers on a visual journey through the diverse landscapes and vibrant colors that define this remarkable region. The quality of the photography is exceptional, with attention to detail and composition that truly highlights the skill and artistry of the photographers.

What made the experience even more enriching was the informative context provided alongside the photographs. Learning about the locations, wildlife, and ecological significance of the areas captured in the images added a layer of appreciation and understanding to what I was viewing. It's clear that the exhibition was curated with both passion and expertise.

The Shark Bay Discovery Centre has done an incredible job of presenting this exhibition, creating a space that is both welcoming and engaging.

I left the Discovery Centre feeling inspired and awestruck by the natural beauty of the world we live in, as seen through the lens of the ND5 photographers. This exhibition is a testament to the power of photography to capture and convey the majesty of nature, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. A well-deserved 5-star experience that should not be missed by anyone...

We only had the time to visit the Information desk due to our late arrival after a long day's travelling on January 8 2021. We required information on what we were wanting to do. I always visit Visitor's Centres as the personalised interaction with those who know what they are talking about gives a more authentic view than google. This was evidenced in the interacton we had with Mahana who was exceptional in understanding our personal needs, being extremely objective in helping us make our choices. Her patience and time spent with us at the end of no doubt a long day for her was a delight. When seeking some help another staff member came in to help and I noticed that Mahana asked the staff member a question, the answer to which Mahana was unsure of as it was a computer code I think in relation to which boat was going to be used. The other staff member made the remark, "That's just the way it is. I am 100%sure", as stated in relation to the boat size. Mahana insisted on going a step further in order to give us the correct information and found that the information given by the other staff member was in fact incorrect. I am writing this as it was not good to see a more mature staff member believe that she was definitely right. Yes, listen to youth. A big shout out...

We came by here since it was raining. We did stop by before to get some information regarding what sights to see but came back to do the Discovery Center. There are a few souvenirs in the shop too. They also have information regarding the status of the Francois Peron National Park. There is a small gallery on the left of the entrance which is free to enter and does have quite a few spectacular photographs of the area. There was also a 3D movie "Fire on the Water" about the HMAS Sydney which was sad and informative. It ran every 30 minutes so you can easily wait for the next screening. The Discovery Center costs $11 for adults and $6 for children but it is a multiday pass so you are able to come back in at a later day, just show your receipt. I quite enjoyed it since it was almost like a museum about the history of the area. It was split up into different segments based on the area. It was nice strolling around and looking at the different things inside, particularly the animal stuff. They also did have movies going so if you had time you can sit and watch them all. It is a useful place to stop, whether you're looking for information or wanting to spend some time looking around...
