Alice Springs - Darwin - Exmouth (WA)

Exmouth
Head up North to the tip. There is a fairly good beach, the Lighthouse, some interesting info on Turtles. And a lot more if you drive around to the ocean side opposite Exmouth. The sunset up there is pretty good, too.

Paradise Exmouth
I say that with tongue in cheek, as when I was their from 1970-1972 (US Navy), it was noting more than a wide spot in the road. No Phone, No TV, No Radio, a very small town square with about 6 shops. The PotShot Inn was the only eating / drinking establishment. They had a drive in movie at the end of town and that was it. Road to Yardee Creek was a two rutt path, and so was the road to PotShot Canyon. Charles Knife Canyon had a decent road. Paved road out of Exmouth stopped at Coral Bay. No Gas between Exmouth and Canarvon, you had to carry a couple of 5 gal jerry cans. You got your water from the Navy Base, because the town water was not drinkable. The town was built by the US Navy to support the Communications Station and they did not go out of their way with luxuries. However, I loved the two years I was there, It was truly the "outback" then, and I rode my dirk bike all over that country. Often thought of going back to visit, but from what I read on the internet, since it became a tourist attraction, it has been ruined.
