Mermaid Leather

Australias only commercial fish leather specialist began in 1989 as a hobby a family owned and operated business we harvest fish skins from the commercial fishing industry as waste and convert them into leather via our specialised tanning system then make leather goods from the resulting leather, it is beautiful to look at, robust and hard wearing, and doesn`t smell fishy, all from food waste!

Up in Broome I bought a purse, made by Mermaid Leather. I loved the green and the texture of the leather. It was more than 10 years ago and my wallet is still in perfect condition. It has of course been in and out of my handbag on a daily basis, rough treatment really, and the Barramundi leather has worn and worn. There is no discolouration, it looks as new inside and out. The quality is worth every cent. I am so impressed with the whole approach of the company, it is terrific to see a local company innovating and employing people in skilled positions, and producing such a good product. Good on you in Esperence! (obviously the date I have put in is wrong, we visited in maybe 2010. But the "When did you go?" only gives dates in 2020.

Great Ocean Drive

Spectacular coastline and plenty of beaches to swim or just sit and contemplate life. Best to do (anticlockwise direction) from Pink Lake, Eleven Mile Beach then towards Esperance ...

Ten Mile Lagoon

Reviewed By TammyR451 - Perth, Australia

We visited here on Valentines day and enjoyed the beach immensely, despite the rather cold winds. The lagoon is just gorgeous and provides a really great little safe patch to swim. The clothing optional part of the beach beach is around the corner quite a way from the main beach which is fantastic as it gives you privacy away from those curious eyes who always seem to 'oops, i strolled too far' for a peek. We got down to our birthday suits and didnt feel self conscious, there were a few other couples and singles there of assorted ages and all were just enjoying the sunshine and surf. If clothing optional is not your thing, the prudies beach is also very lovely and worth a visit for a swim. Highly recommend beach. No facilities, so byo water, picnic, and sunscreen.
