Exmouth is the other place renowned for great whale shark spotting. But I'm afraid it was the same story, all a bit too much for the pockets to take. Exmouth is a national park so we stayed there for a few nights.

The snorkeling here was better than Coral Bay as you could use the current to drift along parallel to the beach, the currents were quite strong but the fish were aplenty but so were the jelly fish so dodging them was interesting.

We are also getting quiet used to the kamikaze or just bloody stupid kangaroos. Driving at dawn and dusk really isn't the cleverest here as that the wildlife seems to move about a lot more then and roos have the great tendency to bound in front of you and then stop right in your path and stare at the you on go the brakes just before you're creating another road kill victim. We've seen so many dead animals it's unbelievable. Huge cows with enormously swollen bellies ready to explode from the heat, headless kangaroos, snakes, lizards, birds. It does quite make me wonder how the farmers can be making any kind of money when most of his herd are on the tires of road trains and attached to bull bars…

Road trains now they are scary… basically imagine a lorry back home, now imagine 4 or 5 all joined together and that's a road train. These things don't stop for anything and actually can't as slamming on those brakes would cause a considerable amount of damage so obliterating a few roos or cows is the preferred option. We've had to overtake a few road trains which isn't the nicest experience, some signs say you need up to 2km to overtake just the one. You don't see a lot of cars on the WA roads outside the cities but they seem to come along when you're half way over taking one of these beasts and the poor lil van just can't get up any more speed, as I said not the best experience.
