If last week was marine week, this week has definitely been reptile week! However, despite a few scaly scares we've slipped into the relaxed way of life locals call "Broome time" far too easily!Our bus trip to Broome went well and seemed to pass quicker than we thought it would. We did have a fairly anxious last few hours on the road though. When we were about five hours out of Broome we came across the Greyhound bus coming the other way pulled over at ...

I don't think either of us could have imagined this trip could get any more incredible, however the Ningaloo Reef and most especially swimming with whale sharks have totally blown us away becoming the highlight of our journey so far.We arrived into Exmouth very early on Tuesday morning (about 2am) so spent the day chilling out at our accomodation.

It was extremely quiet on the roads - when we got into the centre we realised why - Aussies treat Good Friday like Christmas Day - everything shuts down for the day!!
