Exmouth and Ningaloo

After camping roadside, we awoke to this nasty weather. We pushed on another 150+ and had driven through it and were lucky enough to be hot and humid! 
 
 These termite mounds are everywhere, with no trees, for obvious reasons
 Yep we ventured past a ranger into National Park Territory, with Nick hiding with the dogs in the back..... hehe

 Information bay at Turquoise bay, one of the best spots for snorkeling in Ningaloo. There is a drift here and you walk along the beach then catch the current over the coral.
 

Was a stunning beach, really wish I had the underwater camera here. Saw a sting ray, and 4 turtles, one's shell was as big as a car tyre. Most amazing day here, the current was certainly strong, and we were surprised not to find a lifeguard there, for the amount of tourists hanging around.


Blue skies, red dirt and these cool ranges one side, beach on the other, was a pretty amazing experience.
 Well we had to visit this place
 View from the lookout/ lighthouse. Was amazing to see whales splashing round in the bay, just behind that sign. We have seen countless whales on this stretch of coast. Its been great!!!


 Back on the highway, the road was not boring, the wildflowers are starting to come out , and I cant wait for a few more weeks, they will be spectacular. There were also these lovely ranges all along w]the way. Some flat topped, some covered with green. Was a very pretty part of the highway to drive through. We ran into Nick, from Belgium, at a roadhouse, we met at Quobba, and may meet up again around Broome.


Cane river, where we are spending the night. Its amazing here, Gallah screeching their goodnights, and the occasional splash from the murky water. Its so dark out here the sky is absolute. The starts have put on a show for us one again.

 Yep clean as a whistle, note the camp shower!!!
