Coral Coast

As we continue our coastal journey south, we have started to explore some of the sights on and off the water. We spent 4 nights in Exmouth where we had 3 extremely windy and one very wet night, but days that were great for doing a bit of walking and exploring some of the beaches, lighthuse and the impressive Cape Range National Park. Slightly thwarted by the weather we were not able to camp beachside, but visited a few including Turquoise Bay and Town Beach. We also had a lunch stop and walk at Yardie Creek Gorge. We saw an echidna crossing the road as well as a large lizard and roos and emus. On way to our current spot in the beautiful Coral Bay we took the Charles Knife Road to a great lookout and views of both the ranges and the water.

Coral Bay has been great downtime with beach and shops in walking distance. Went on some walks and a glass bottom boat trip to see some of the fishes and corals which are in abundance in this area. Still a few light showers but much calmer and even fitted in a shoot at the local beach at sunset between visits to the bskery for THE best cakes!

Next stop Carnarvon in the morning for a couple of nights, before heading to Shark Bay and Monkey Mia, somewhere I have wanted to visit for a long time. Hoping it lives up to expectations. 😑🐋
