    Coral Bay to Carnarvon

    We had quite a leisurely start to the day as we didn’t have far to travel. After we finally all got up, dressed and had breakfast we loaded up the car before going for one final walk along the beach. It was another perfect day as far as the weather went so we were all…

    Coral Bay (Day 1)

    Beach, beach and a bit more beach was on the agenda today. We had a sleep in and then headed to the shop to get something to cook for dinner later on before heading across to the beach where we met up with Megan, Christian and their boys Lawley, Elliot and Oscar. The boys all…

  • Exmouth – Coral Bay

    Exmouth – Coral Bay

    Only a short drive between places today so we had a very relaxed start with “L” having another go-kart ride around the caravan park before we finally checked out. After checking out we headed into town to have another look at the Art Gallery and then headed up the Cape to see the Navy Pier,…

    Exmouth (Day 2)

    Not surprisingly, we had a sleep in and very slow start to the day today. Once we all eventually were fed and dressed, we walked across the road to the Ningaloo Aquarium and Discovery Centre. It’s a really well laid out centre with lots of information, a few small aquariums showcasing various marine life and…

    Exmouth (Day 1 – Whale Sharks!!)

    We set our alarms for 6:30am so we could be up and ready to be out at the boat ramp before 8am. Happily, “R” woke up feeling much better this morning, perhaps thanks to the Phenergan we dosed him up with last night!! With everyone feeling excited, we got dressed, had brekky and jumped in…

    Karratha – Exmouth

    After the worst night of the entire trip so far, we all dragged ourselves out of bed just before 8 to get ready to hit the road. The room next to ours had the noisiest group of Indian men partying on until 4am which kept us awake; “G” even went next door and asked them…

    Karratha (Day 1)

    A fairly chilled out day today. We started with a loooooong sleep in before eventually hopping in Katie to go and check out the sights. We headed to Dampier and up to the Burrup Peninsula. The size of the industrial works out there are huge! We also checked out the Red Dog statue and Hearson’s…

    Eighty Mile Beach – Karratha

    We tried to get on the road at a more respectable time today and left Eighty Mile Beach just after 8am. Port Hedland was our first stop today to fill up with fuel and check out the town. The salt works were pretty cool but I wonder how much salt just gets blown into the…

    Eighty Mile Beach (Day 1)

    Not a lot else to do at Eighty Mile Beach other than enjoy the beach so it will be a fairly short blog post today!! We had a bit of a sleep in before breakfast and then hitting the beach for a play. The boys played in the sand, we admired the tiny crabs and…

  • Derby – Eighty Mile Beach

    Derby – Eighty Mile Beach

    We didn’t get going until quite late (for us anyway) today. After breakfast and packing up the car, we headed back into town to hand back our keys, then went looking for the last sculpture from the Sculptures on the Marsh that we missed yesterday. Google did us well, as it was indeed on the…
