We left Exmouth this morning and drove a couple of hours south to Coral Bay. Coral Bay is a beautiful little holiday village. Once you've set up camp you can walk to everything and the beach is spectacular and very safe for little ones to swim. Coral Bay has the southern end of Ningaloo Reef and again it is very close to shore with some of the best snorkelling easily accessible any time of the day. Lochie had a swim here for about an hour and then we travelled fu...

We intended to leave today but it was very windy and we felt like a rest day after all our hard work ;), so we booked in to stay in Exmouth another night. We really like the feel of Exmouth and the Big4 park is very pleasant to stay in! This evening we decided to drive up to the Turtle Observatory, which is a beach where three different species of sea turtles come up on the beach to lay their eggs between October and January. We stayed on the beach for an hour i...

Today we drove about an hour around the peninsula to Turquoise Bay at Ningaloo Reef. Wow what an awesome place, the water here is crystal clear and really beautiful!

We have been told that the temperature does hit 50 degrees in January, wow thats hot! After coffee we made our way about 40km out of town to travel along the top ridge of the Cape Range National Park. Consisting of a mainly corrugated dirt road to the top, ...

Stopped at the Nanutarra Roadhouse for fuel. Fuel was a $1.93, not the most that we have paid for fuel on this trip but it was very expensive to buy food and drinks. The humble Chicko Roll $6.20!! Not a very nice roadhouse at all, mainly catering for the miners. Disappointing stop!
