Goodbye Coral Bay. Up at 6.30 to help Larissa and Adam pack up as they have decided to drive the whole way to Perth today - 1200 klms.

We stopped for a cup of tea at a roadhouse and arrived at Carnarvon around 12.15pm. We are at the Big 4 Plantation caravan Park for 3 nights. Set up and had a drive into town for lunch and bo...

Gerry and I set off on our walk after breakfast up to the jetty on the beach and back via the wind tower road. The tide was in very close to the rocks and had to get shoes and socks off to get through. Quite hot this morning. Beach really calm and flat. Had a swim and Gerry had a snorkel with Isabella. While they were snorkeling two dolphins appeared very close to shore and put on quite a display for the pleasure of those on the beach and in the water at the time...
