Location ID: #10278675
Wedge Island is located north of Lancelin and south of Cervantes on the Western Australian coast some 180 km north of Perth. The first shacks were built at Wedge in the 1930s. The settlement is now home to approximately 350 beach shacks which were built on Crown land at Wedge Island and Grey settlements between the 1950s and 1980s by fishermen and pastoralists. The community is strongly committed to protecting the wildlife, natural fauna and local environment and preserving the natural beauty of Wedge for future generations of West Australians to enjoy in the years to come.
