The Eastern Gutter.. aka sharks lounge room. If sharks are your thing then you have come to the right place. At times there can be up to 70 Grey Nurse sharks in the gutter, not to mention the ones that you don’t see (The ones that are watching you). To be part of this incredible and totally natural event will blow you away! The best place to observe the sharks would be at the South East end of the gutter, just at the front of the cave. As the gutter runs from a high North East point dropping down towards the South East end, it creates a ramp like structure which the sharks like to ’parade’ down. It’s a phenomenal site, one not to be missed!
