April 21-27 = Exmouth Trip!!! Day 1 The bus was late; I could’ve slept in another half an hour, and taken my time to get downtown, and the bus would’ve only just arrived. We were packed in like sardines: 21 passengers (including Suzy, Jen, Melissa, Shauna, and myself) and the bus driver. All but one of the 5 guys was in a couple, and that guy was in his mid-forties and had a speech impedimen... Read Full Entry

It could be me...

That's what it looked like anyhow, you just dropped the fish into their mouth.

Pelican happy-hour

I thought this was hilarious- the pelicans were drinking from a sprinkler.

Capes, our Aboriginal guide

He gave us permission to take his picture... after I had already taken his picture. Oops.

Science Geek to the Rescue!

Stumpy the stromatolite

Hamelin pool is hopping

Stromatolites here, stromatolites there, stromatolites everywhere!

Super-duper stromatolite, man!

I'm way too excited.

Cool little falcon

It was hanging out (and mating) with another one atop our Coral Bay hostel. Suzy got the wrong idea when I pointed and said "Cool" and she turned at the wrong moment...

Ningaloo Reef

See something?

There used to be something cool in that spot, like a turtle or a dugong or an eagle ray... but of course when the camera comes out, wildlife runs for the hills (or the open ocean, whichever is closer and more appropriate).

The wave is blue

These were the waves breaking on the outer edge of the reef. All the surfers were looking longingly at them...

Emu alert

Like a racoon, except taller and faster than you and with really sharp beaks and claws.

View from the other side

As you can see, not much of a sunset going on here.

Me and the little Lighthouse

It's just lemonade, ma, really...

Group Shot

5 Americans, 5 English 4 Irish, 4 Aussies, 2 Germans, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Tropic of Capricorn

Ah, the joys of standing on an imaginary line...

Wedge-tailed eagle

In flight you can see the wedge-shaped tail much easier. These are the biggest eagles in WA, and possibly all of Australia, but don't quote me on that.

The Prince and Me

I should frame this. Prince Leonard holding my hand!

Kangaroo chow time

They all look so sleepy.

Another species

There were a mix of kangaroos and wallabies.

They all get along

I think someone told me wallabies have a shorter, narrower face. And of course they're generally smaller, but sometimes that's not a good indicator.
