On leaving Exmouth we stopped at a seafood shop which had been recommended to us by numerous people. We bought some fresh prawns which we ended up having for lunch in sandwiches. We're very posh! Coral Bay sits alongside the southern section of the Ningaloo Reef. It is a resort more so than a town. There are two big caravan parks, a backpackers, and a hotel motel. There are very few houses and a small shopping centre with supermarket, bakery, newsagent and ...

After leaving windy Cape Range we headed back to Exmouth where we planned to spend the night giving us the opportunity to watch the NRL grand final between Melbourne Storm and the Manly Sea Eagles. We set up at the same caravan park we had been in a few days before. We then headed to the pub to watch the MotoGP and the final. The final was pretty disappointing even for us part time Storm supporters. Sitting in the pub we tasted Swan Draught for the first time...

There are numerous camp areas within Cape Range National Park and in peak season if you're not at the gate by 5am you most likely won't get in. We were pretty lucky that day, although after five nights in the park we did realise that it was not so busy anymore even though t...

We got supplies alright but as we headed out of town there was a sign saying that there were no available camp spots in the National Park. We turned back to Exmouth where we spent last night in one of the caravan parks. Hopefully we'll be able to get into the park today. Kylie

The car ran out of fuel on the last hill before Tom Price. Fortunately we still had some fuel in one of our fuel cans, so we 'topped' the car up and drove the last 3kms into Tom Price. Tom Price is a mining town in the Pilbara. We arrived on Thursday afternoon with plans to stay until Sunday so we could watch the Grand Final at the pub on Saturday. We did a tour to the Rio Tinto Pilbara Iron Ore Mine. It was great to be so close to the huge trucks and to be dri...
