The first wharf, built in 1894, was a wooden T shaped structure located at the northern end of the present steel and concrete jetty. The Jetty is a popular place from which to view the stunning sunsets over King Sound or to fish for silver cobbler, shark, golden grunter, north west salmon and mud crabs on the incoming tides. These tides are Australia's highest and the second highest in the southern hemisphere.

My wife and I sat and enjoyed watching the amazing sunset from the wharf. A brilliant photo opportunity. The tides in Derby are huge and watching the roiling water as the tide comes in is an experience

Beautiful & very Old Prison Boab tree with so many years of history! There others in the area just as beautiful but not as big. The police use to house the Aboriginal & other criminals in this one! Most part of the tree is edible. They grow to about 15mtr tall & their girth can reach 20mtrs The seeds are as big & shaped like mangos. They can be more than 1000-1500years old. Also near by is one of the longest Cattle water troph in Australia at 140 feet long. Must visit.
