Blogs from the city, Exmouth, Western Australia, Australia, Oceania

I feel more and more reluctant to update my blog, perhaps because we are nearing the end of our wonderful adventure, and while I am looking forward to returning to ‘normalcy’ and home, another part of me doesn’t want to stop this amazing - though at times exhausting - trip. Particularly now as we have hit the coast, and are finally spending lots of time at the beach. We are currently in Exmouth, right by Ningaloo Reef, a fantastic fringing reef easily accessible from the beach, which is great for the boys (and the budget). And not only is the snorkelling amazing, but the beaches are white with lots of shells to keep the younger boys entertained, and the water is clear and beautifully turquoise. I am in Heaven! But first, what ... read more

This is a beautiful place particularly in the Ningaloo Nat Park. We had to line up at the gate early to get in, but ended up at Ned's Camp. Everyone is really friendly and out for fun. We snorkled at Turquoise and Oyster Stacks. These were awesome. The fish were so colorful and so close. One lady saw a shark which I am glad I missed. We did a trip up the Yardie Creek gorge and checked out all the beaches. Have left and heading towards Coral Bay.... read more

Sleeping next to ocean was awesome. The sunrise this morning was stunning. It is actually now 8:20am and we are sitting around relaxing and watching the tide return. Yesterday when we got here we were treated to a show with huge whales breaching on the horizon. Then 10 pelicans drifted past looking for a feed of fish. Today is a little overcast at the moment but often warms up as the day goes on. It has been great to read all the comments, so keep them coming. Am guessing we will have more phone coverage now so might be a bit more regular with our entries. Happy birthday brother Pete. Have a great day.... read more

When someone says ‘What do you think of when I say “Exmouth”? my reply is simple….Pristine Beaches and Picture Perfect. Located 1270kms from Perth, WA, with an overnight stop in Kalbarri, the drive and wait is truly paid off as soon as you hit the beaches of Exmouth. After returning from Exmouth back in April….I was sad to be leaving but also relaxed and in awe of where I had just been. With the sun on my back and the smell of the oceanit was fabulous, I honestly didn’t want to come home. We rented a house in the town centre, which was close to the shops and resturants and was perfect for 2 families of 4 plus more. I would also highly recommend staying at the Lighthouse Caravan Park which was absolutely devine…perfect for the ... read more
