Stopped at a 24 hour test stop about half way to Tom Price. Kylie got stooges by some old couple looking for donations for the Royal flying doctors. Have her some old brochures and last year’s calendar and one of their own travel books. Beasley Creek. But no creek. Seb […]
20230716 Exmouth Gulf
Still at Bullara Station, just went for a drive to the gulf. About 50km of corrugated roads. Went to a boat ramp there and see a heap of mud skippers. Tried some fishing, no luck. We have entered crocodile territory now. Just. The mud flats really creep up during tidal […]
20230716 Catch up photos Kylie
Kids called these toys spotty and humpy. I different Gina and Lindsay after the guides that helped with the whale shark swim. So Spotty Lindsay and Humpy Gina. To the tune of “Frere Jacques” Whale shark-a whale shark-a, where are you? where are you? Come up to the surface, come […]
20230715 travel to Bullara Station
Short drive to Bullara Station stay. Bit surprised how many people are here actually. Mira has her friends here so she is happy. I went for a short walk with Seb. Put in a good effort to give the place a rustic feel. Even though he looks happy in that […]
20230714 Exmouth day 3
Went and did some exploring around this general area. Lighthouse, Mildura shipwreck and Charles Knife Gorge. Kids have been enjoying some independence by going to the open air cinema by themselves.
20230713 Whale Sharks v2
Today we go out on a tour to hopefully swim with whale sharks. We did. Was a long day, early start, but probably worth it. There were a few moments where I thought Seb wasn’t gonna have a go but he jumped in eventually. Mira was scared but did it […]
20230712 Exmouth day 1
We headed to lakeside on the other side of the peninsula for a practice snorkel. Kids got the hang of it, drifting with the current. Was a bit cold for them but should be enough so the can go whale sharking tomorrow. Stopped and got some snaps with the giant […]
20230711 Travel to Exmouth
Expensive day. Caravan service, fuel, dentist, shopping, accommodation. Weather is definitely warmer up past the tropic of Capricorn which we have now past. First impression of Exmouth is positive. Nice little town center with pretty much everything you need. Maybe the west equivalent of Port Douglas. Lots of your operations […]
20230710 Coral Bay
One nighter in Coral Bay. Was over $100 dollars a night to stay here, ruled by landcruisers and the occasional kitted out F350. But it would be a nice place if it weren’t school holidays. Protected reef right near the shore although it does appear the victim of coral bleaching […]
20230709 Carnarvon day 2
Seb still not 100%. So chilled out a bit. Whiteheads were on their way. The family we gave Seb’s bike to also were going. Little bit loved that new bike I think. Mira got another bike from another family. I will need to fix a few things. Slow leak on […]
