Travel Blog Hi All, We are still alive in down town Exmouth; the weather is still not good. We have had rain, wind and it is cold. The weather looks good on Monday so we will get sailing then, around the corner (North West Cape) to try and get to Yardie Creek. Mark and Kris other friends of ours are around there with three other boats all waiting ……….. They are going up north. We will be going south on our way home, we have got 2 weeks left. We are kept busy doing our daily chores washing our clothes which can take up to an half an hour or more.

Exmouth and Cape Range(Ningaloo Reef) We had camped at New Beach just south of Carnarvon, where we checked out another 1 mile jetty (a few hundred metres shorter than Busselton’s). We headed to Woolworths to stock up on food, and fuel at Caltex -98.3L @ 166.0c/L and decided to continue north along the coast. Although the Easter long weekend had come and gone, school holidays seemed to fill every resort throughout the Coral Bay and Exmouth area. Being a bit late to get into the National Park to camp, we stayed at Yardie Homestead Caravan Park $30/powered site, which enabled us to power all our batteries and charge up the camera before spending 5 nights out in Cape Range National Park. We woke up at sparrowfart and waited in line at the Ranger’s station to ... read more

Us again Had a long drive to Exmouth against a very strong headwind. Took nearly seven hours to do 530km. This must be one of the few places where you will see a sign on the way "into" town, warning you of wild life crossing the road? There are heaps of wild Emu grazing along the side of the road and in the campsite. They don't come too close to our van, but I have seen one chasing a young child who had a sandwich in his hand?? We had a quick drive into Cape Range National Park a couple of days ago to check out likely camping spots. Unfortunately it is school holidays here, so we can't get a spot until next week. The park is unique in that the reef is only meters from ... read more
