Wool Bay Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information

Wool Bay

Wool Bay is an attractive small seaside town situated between Stansbury and Coobowie. The town of Pickering was founded in 1876 and later in 1940 its name was changed due to the fact that the jetty (built in 1882), was wide enough to roll a bale of wool down; consequently the locals called it Wool Bay Jetty, and the name of the town changed to Wool Bay. With a permanent population of approximately 100, sandy beaches and moderate year round weather, Wool Bay is now the perfect place to leave behind a fast paced life, lie back, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Wool Bay initially was a wool, grain and lime exporting town. The uniquely designed Lime Kilns are situated on the cliffs above the town, for some mysterious reason the kilns here never worked properly. The kilns have now been restored and bear testimony to another long gone commercial activity.
