Twilight Cove
Twilight Cove is situated at the end of the Baxter cliffs on the south coast of Western Australia on the Great Australian Bight coastline. It has had other names, including Malbinya.[1]
The local Aboriginal language for the area (known as Willilambie) was collected by Daisy Bates.[2] It is 26 km south of Cocklebiddy roadhouse on the Eyre Highway[3] and is considered a marker as the extent of the Baxter Cliffs,[4] with Toolinna Cove the other.
Like most locations along the southern coast of Western Australia it is susceptible to king waves,[5] and the nearby coast has had reputation for wrecks.[6][7]
