Ningaloo Coast

 The main draw around Exmouth and Coral Bay is strangely, the coral reefs or what is left of them. The reefs are just off the shore. Unfortunately a couple of typhoons and other factors have killed off a lot of the coral.

I am still recovering from four days of snorkelling. I am suffering from sun burn and damage to rarely used muscles. Unfortunately I have no pictures of fish or coral so I will throw these pics in.








Today we are back in Carnarvon. Just hanging out. This morning there was a slight chill in the air and I was tempted to throw on something other the shorts and t shirt I have been wearing for the last five weeks. Turned out it was too difficult to find where my other items of clothing had gone to.

After 23 hours of flying and many hours between, we arrived in Perth. Our first impressions were very positive. It is a very clean well organized city with great transit and lots to see. Without sleep for the duration of our flight, we arrived in a sad state. Fortunately after walking around a bit we crashed and had a great nights sleep.  Our first task was to walk downtown and get our phones working. We had a great experience at the Telstra office where a young man from Bangladesh walked us through the process and got us a great and cheap phone data plan.

Today we check out of our hostel and check in to our van, for the ...

No wonder the Around the Jetty swimming event was happening and hundreds were milling around the streets. We did walk out to the end of the jetty and discovered it to be quiet and peaceful compared to town. On a whim we drove 30 kilometers out of town to a park campground. Of course it was fully booked. We parked in the very pleasant day use area and nobody bothered us. So far our best campsite of the trip. We have discovered that to get a booking in a govt campground you have to book weeks ahead. Does not bode well for us as we have trouble planning two days ahead. Next day we headed out to Cape Naturaliste light house. We found it mildly interesting and full of bugs. From there we drove to Agusta and Cape Leuwin. Agusta is on a big ocean estuary and about 7 kilometers away is the cape dividing the Indian and Southern Oceans. We fou...
