Ningaloo Lighthouse Caravan Park Exmouth

... has canels running through it. Exmouth is not that small it has IGA foodstore, some other shops. No Maccas here (great to see) There is airforce base just down from Exmouth at Learmonth.<br>we travelled onto our campsite for the next 3 nights. We went to the Cape Range National Park. Stayed at Neds camp. (the better camp spot out of all of them) You have to pay a fee of $11 to enter the park and Neds camp was $7 per Adult and $2 per school aged child. There is a lighthouse at the ...

... you arrive anywhere, you have a twenty-minute wrestle with the tent to look forward to. The campervan has more storage than my last flat. It has a sink and a table. It has mattresses in the back that you lie down on and there you have your sleeping quarters for the night organised in seconds.<br><br>So, we said our goodbyes to Zach and set off into the interior of the country. Next stop, Karijini National Park.<br>

... From there, we could see the whole bay, stretched out beneath us and in the distance. As the sun started to go down, we returned to the beach where we walked and skimmed stones and watched for the spray of the whales that are starting to migrate along the west coast.<br><br>Back at the ranch, Zach cooked up some divine lamb on the barbie - meat so good that it required an absolute awed silence in order to savour and enjoy. We watched movies and ...

... laughter was short-lived and was possibly hysteria brought on by lack of sleep. There was only one thing to be done and we did it. We found a café and ordered the largest coffee and the biggest cooked breakfast on the menu. We stayed there all day and whenever a wave of tiredness washed over us, we ordered something chocolaty. <br><br>That evening, we were to meet Zach who was to be our couch surfing host in Exmouth. Zach is a sergeant in the US Air Force, stationed in ...

... charges in the cold, dusty forecourt. After a mild kerfuffle, in which some sleep-dazed woman got on the wrong bus to the fevered excitement of sleep-deprived passengers, we set off on our way with new driver, Stecky, to Exmouth.<br><br>We arrived at 4am, wandered around in the dark looking for our hostel, weighed down by rucksacks and lack of sleep, snapping at each other for an equal inability to read the map. We sank into bed in a stuffy dorm and drifted off to sleep.<br>

... life exist all the way up to the shore. The sand is white, the water crystal clear. It was really the experience of a lifetime relaxing on the beach and then wading into knee deep water where the fish are swimming through your legs, another couple of metres out and you are swimming amongst massive coral heads and every type, colour and size of fish and marine life, can't say how awesome it is. <br><br>We spent the first 4 days camped in ...

... surrounding the old pier footings. Beautiful tropical fish were everywhere. Alec describes:<br>I saw a very big fish, about the size of the tables in my classroom. It was blackish brownish [and chasing schools of smaller fish]. We saw lots of coral. The coral had quite dull colours, but it still looked nice. I liked snorkelling a lot, but it wasn&#8217;t very easy because the currents were quite strong ...

... 8211; stark white sand so fine and soft to walk on, and bluer than blue clear waters. We spent hours here swimming and pretending to know how to surf on rented boogie boards. A lot of fun!!!! The water temperature was low 80s F/28C. <br><br>Broome only has a population of 14,000 people, but lots of tourists come here between April and September (dry season). One evening we watched the sunset on Cable Beach along with a few hundred other people. They drive their vehicles down onto the ...

... out there. We also wandered over to the Bay section, which would have been great for kids. It&#8217;s a lot more sheltered &#8211; less wind and less current.<br><br>On the way back to the campground, we decided to check out Yardie Creek. It turns out that there is an unpaved road heading east from the National Park. We thought this would be a good option, so that we don&#8217;t have to drive right around the cape again ...

... Direkt vom Strand aus kann man mit seinem Schnorchel ins tuerkisblaue Wasser steigen und sich mit ganzen Fischschwaermen treiben lassen. Gegen das Licht, das durch ausgehoehlte Felsen unter Wasser faellt, sieht man grosse Fische im Schutz der Felsen auf Futter warten. Einmal waere ich fast mit einem grossen Rochen kollidiert, der direkt auf mich zukam. Wow! <br><br>Die Wettervorhersage hier ist mehr eine ...
