Exmouth Sunny, 30 degrees. Up early this morning as it was time for Ben to go back home, as he was working this afternoon. He left just after 7.30, and had a good trip back. He called when he arrived back in Karratha. We had a very lazy day today, read for a while and then in the late afternoon we walked down to the beach to have a look. The tide was very low, we went for a walk in the shallows and did see a couple of stingrays. But apart from some crabs...

Coral Bay to Exmouth Sunny, blue skies. 29 degrees So we have now definitely got up north enough, past the Tropic of Capricorn, to have the warm sunny days. Hopefully should stay like this now for a long time. Left this morning for the 150 km trip to Exmouth. Rather flat, scrubby country, with lots of anthills. We did see a few sheep but otherwise no animals. We turned off on Charles Knife Road, which winds up through the canyon. We took the motor ho...

Coral Bay Beautiful sunny day, 28 degrees Ahhh...at long last a rest day!! Spent the day at the beach. The water is so clear. I just paddled as I am not game to get into the water just yet. I think it should be OK to do soon though as it has healed very well. Ben went snorkelling a couple of times. We came back to the van late afternoon and had some dips etc. so then just a light dinner sausage sandwich. We heard from Justin that he got his Italian pas...

Carnarvon - Coral Bay Warmer today - sunny about 25 degrees Up and moving again...I am looking forward to being able to spend more than one night somewhere soon. But of course Ben needs to be home by Friday so running out of time for him. First of all we went to the supermarket to get some supplies, as Coral Bay is very expensive to buy anything. Then we had a look at the one mile jetty. It had been built well over 120 years ago when the settlers wante...

Denham - Monkey Mia - Carnarvon Sunny, about 23 degrees. Up early this morning as we wanted to drive to Monkey Mia to see the dolphins and apparently you need to be there before 8 as they get fed about that time. Only about a 20 minute drive, so we arrived just before 8. It is quite a ripoff though on our opinion, to get into the park it costs $12 each. So $36 for us all. We have also bought a national park pass earlier (before I got sick), which was $44 ...
