CORAL BAY, TURQUOISE BAY AND ARRIVAL IN EXMOUTH I have been in Exmouth for a couple of days now, just taking it easy. There is not really anything else to do here. We went snorkelling in Coral Bay on Tuesday. It was really pretty but didn't see anything worth mentioning. Then drove to Turquoise Bay up in near Exmouth, snorkelled again and I saw a loggerhead turtle! Up really close, and it was quite a big one too! But I have to say, after seeing all those sha...

MONKEY MIA, OCEAN PARK AND CORAL BAY Denham was so still and beautiful when we got up. We drove across to Monkey Mia, a place where wild dolphins come in every day to feed.

I got caught at the other end, at the station in Perth, but the guy was nice enough to let me buy ...

GLOUCESTER TREE, VALLEY OF THE GIANTS AND ALBANY Left Margaret River yesterday morning sadly... We drove through forests of huge karri trees to get to the Gloucester Tree, the tallest of the lot. Some years ago, people decided to put metal poles up the side so it could be climbed and used as a lookout. Climbing it is easier said than done - I'm sure this thing would be illegal in Europe and America, because it is quite possible to fall off... But we all made i...
