Day 57 14/08/2013 Lighthouse Bay to Carnarvon WA.It was a warm night, with not too much wind. Today was a travelling day, and as such, not that exciting! We didn't rush, leaving the caravan park around 8.30am and headed into Exmouth. We re-fuelled and had a cup of coffee while we waited for the Ningaloo Blue shop to open so that we could purchase the DVD from yesterday's tour.On leaving Exmouth we travelled south, partly the same route we had taken to get to Exmo...

Day 56 13/08/2013 Cape Range NP to Lighthouse Caravan Park, North West Cape.Today has been an AMAZING day!It was not too windy in the night. Hurray! We were up at dawn and on our way soon after 7am.

I mentioned in a previous blog how difficult it is to get a campsite i...

During the first section we saw a hawk fly out of a clump of bushes in front of us with a small snake in its talons. Then we spotte...

Day 54 11/08/2013 Cape Range NP.Once again the wind blew up in the night...it was really gusty at times. Fortunately our kitchen was sheltered from the direct wind and we were able to enjoy a cooked breakfast, although everything took twice as long! After breakfast we packed up, as we had to move sites. We decided not to unpack.....in the hope that the wind would have eased later on! Although it was a beautifully sunny day, (yet again!), it was unfortunately too ...
