Ningaloo Reef

---

We wasn't going to do a blog until we got to Perth but we thought the Ningaloo Reef deserved a blog off its own! Our first experience of the Ninagloo Reef was from the Cape Range National Park which was amazing. It was back to basics at our beach front campsite-no electrcity, no water & a hole in the ground toilet!

From the site we snorkled at Lakeside & Turquiose Bay - we only had to swim 25/50m to the reef to see the abundent coral and sealife...it was unreal! What was more of a suprise was the lack of people, and at times we had the fish to ourselves! We saw so much snorkling including loads of colourful coral, sharks, turtles & stingrays.

We then based ourselves at Exmouth to do a intro dive. We spent the day doing 2 50minute dives that took us 12m below sea level to the NW cape lighthouse bay reef. Again, unreal!

Our final stop was at Coral Bay, the south end of the reef. Here we did more snorkling and a boat trip to swim with the Manta Rays.
