2nd sept Coral Bay

---

Here we are at Ningaloo Homestead Station Camp Ground tucked in behind a sand dune that leads to the Indian Ocean. We are cooking up enough chow mein to probably feed most people who actually read this blog! Sad to leave Exmouth, but the weather has turned a little and we are experiencing cloud coverage and wind. Not ideal for beach activities. Anyway looking out we see lots of sand dunes with pasture to help feed the 3,000 goats that apparently roam this station. The farmer (camp host!) says that they are tapping into the Malaysian market and sitting on a goldmine. Typical W.A. It’s all about mining!!
Anyway it is off to Coral Bay tomorrow, via the dirt road. Not sure about the weather predictions, as most places South are not that warm.

Spent yesterday snorkelling over coral reefs which I didn’t realise even existed over here. Really warm crystal clear water and a multitude of tropical fish - really great!
Now in the middle of nowhere on a sheep/goat station with the reef and lagoons awaiting us tomorrow. Might have a drink tonight and fall over drunk.
Grad I’m here and you are there! (sorry)

Slept in this morning.. not up till 7:30. Boys went walking along beach and I (girl Glenyse) slept in!! We left and drove along 53km of Ningaloo Homestead to Coral Bay sand track.
