We had what I guess you could call a wasted couple of days when we went further north. The plan had been to drive up to Broome, as loads of people had told us it was a great place to visit, so we set out from Coral Bay and drove 363 miles north to Karratha. It was extremely hot when we got there, around 40 degrees, and just when we were discussing driving a couple of hours further to Port Headland, the air con in the car stopped working and the car engine cut out...

We drove the 94 miles back down the coast to Coral Bay and booked onto the Manta Ray tour, only snorkelling as unfortunately all the dive places were full. However when we turned up the next day one of the divers hadn't shown up, so Joel and I decided to do one dive each on the trip and then snorkel for the rest of it. I snorkelled at the first stop, Asho's Gap, and it was really good. There were hundreds of different types of coral, I saw a huge school of fish a...

We left Coral Bay early and drove the 94 miles up the coast to Exmouth, a relatively short drive for us now! On the way up we say loads of termite mounds along by the road.

We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the campsite pool eating ice cream, which wasn't a...

It was a long drive from Monkey Mia to Coral Bay - 368 miles, taking us about 6 hours! We got up early and went to see the dolphins at one last time before we set off, and then drove straight up the coast, only stopping at Carnarvon for a lunch break. Coral Bay is a tiny place, not even a town just a collection of campsites and a few shops but they were right on the beach! We drove through the Tropic of Capricorn on our way up, and it was certainly a lot warmer t...

For our last couple of days in Shark Bay we headed over to Monkey Mia, which is the best place in the world for seeing wild dolphins. The first day we just relaxed by the resort pool and made use of their hot tub - it was like staying in a five star resort! The next day was our chance to see the dolphins, and when we got down to the beach at 7.30 they were already swimming around the shallows! The dolphin experience was a 25 minute long talk in the water, and the...
