An area of land comprising the Exmouth Peninsular, and
Cape

Cape Murat, given by Nicolas Baudin but it was King's choice of name that was
adopted.

interest include Coral Bay, Ningaloo Marine Park, Cape Range National Park,
Exmouth townsite, Kailis Fisheries,
Vlamingh Head lighthouse, Milyering Visitor

The Range was once part of an ocean floor and it contains a large number of
marine fossils.
