Cape Cuvier Coast 

A deep natural port located thirty kilometres north from the blowholes. Here Japanese ships load beneath the sixty metre cliff. Nearby is the most westerly point of Australia. On the 20th may, 1988 the ship "Korean Star" has discharged its ballast and was riding high at anchor, ready to be loaded with salt at the Dampier Salt Operations Pty Ltd, Cape Cuvier Jetty.

• On the following morning, when out of the darkness in the early hours of the 21st, tropical cyclone "Herbie" struck with very little warning and in high seas and gale force winds the ship was swept up against the rugged coastline. The Korean Star soon broke into two sections by the continued action of the sea, settling to its final position after having holes blown in the hull some weeks later by a team of army engineers. The wreck site is easily accessible by road for viewing, however the wreck is dangerous and must not be climbed upon.
