BIDTSIE Travels

Exmouth to Carnarvon

It is Sunday and very warm but I must continue my report as to where we are now and the places we have seen:

Leaving Exmouth

after doing our usual chores we headed for Cape Range National Park

( Ningaloo Reef) for a number of days the first two days where great as the weather was kind to us the remainder (2) windy and unpleasant but as the camp (Mesa) site was great we persevered.

Ningaloo Reef very similar to the Great Barrier runs along this National park and as it is so close to the beach one is able to snorkel here

without having to boat it to a suitable safe bit of the ocean, and this we did the first day and the second day

after this it got to rough due to the wind but it was great (Bianka also had a go as we purchased a set of fins, goggles and snorkel in Exmouth) how beautiful the beach

and Coral is with its abundent of fish in all sorts of colors.

Showering

each night with friends

Drove to the various campsites that this NP has, visited the lighthouse to see if we could see some Whales no such luck the wind was to strong and the sea to choppy and although it was windy we played boule and generaly entertained ourselves, a great 4 days.

On the fifth day we left Exmouth and said our farewells to Errol and Lyn our friends after 4.and a half month s of traveling together, they come from Busselton, ,as they wont get there until December, so now we are once again on our own.

We headed south and first stop free camped at Lyndon River west (Sunrise)

nice spot but one of the windiest as a sand storm hit us here and we were lucky to get the Awning up before damage was done only lasted for a short time but the wind kept up for the night so it was good to see morning so we could go on and guess what no wind to speak of we decided to see the Quobba Blow holes wow this is something to see refer pics

As we got there early we decided to stay the night in the Quobba Freecamp

situated in the dunes Great day and night in the afternoon decided to go fishing after being given some bait by a cople of young people we met here and I caught my second big fish a large Ocean catfish

Bianka said she didn't like the look of it for eating so I let it go.

Sun set at Quobba.

Next morning of to Carnarvon where the weather has been great for cleaning everything from the Car to Van inside and out it took a day to do just the outside and trying to get rid of the Red Dirt is something it sits in every nook and cranny but everything is now squeaky clean once more ready to head further south did a little sight seeing here and I purchased a TV dish

here and set it up for our viewing tonight they tell me I can get the moon and Interstalla reception with this as well ,took a while to set up refer pict.

One mile pier and the Train.
