Floods, Exmouth and Cape Range National Park.

After having Tracey's ankle checked out at Tom Price Hospital we headed for the coast again, looking forward to Exmouth and Cape Range National Park. On our way out there were massive rains and Exmouth was flooded along with half the camp sites in Cape Range. All the pristine snorkeling waters were muddied with the run off from the floods.

We decided to give it a miss and ended up on the coral Coast around the Shark Bay area. Another lovely area on the coast near Monkey Mia.


We got a good campsite on top of a bluff at Whale Bone Bay and enjoyed the sunsets and watching the fish, rays and sharks cruise by us below.



We are now leaving for Kalbarri and the National Park there. Should be good as we have heard a lot of good things about it.


Port Headland No Go......So Off we go!

We spent a fair bit of time in Port Headland to get a job but it seemed you needed to "know someone" to get into the "gang" in Headland. These mine towns are clicky mob's. It's expensive here as well, we paid over $500 for a caravan site for a week, if we were permanent they wanted $2500 bond for a site!!
Not to worry we decided to head off and have a look at Karijini National Park. Awesome! is a word. We have not seen such beauty since the Gibb River Road. We loved it.



We had a great time walking all the gorges the park had to offer.



On the last day Trace rolled her ankle on a rock. So we headed out and rested up in a free camp for a few days after having the ankle checked out at Tom Price Hospital. All OK just a sprain thank goodness.

Tom Price, Paraburdoo and onto the coast.
