Exmouth

May 4. Day 2

Exmouth. 0900/1700. 485 KM

A more leisurely start today, a significantly shorter driving distance. Headed up the NW Coastal Hwy (NWCH) to Carnarvon.

We grabbed a coffee at the Post Office Coffee Stall and got the low down from the owner regarding fresh produce availability, as her dad is a grower. Subsequently we went to Morels and bought some fresh veggies, fresh guavas and some dried mangoes, amongst other things. And a frozen chocolate banana for good measure. Very tasty. Another good stop is Bum Baks. It’s also a comprehensIve provedore store. Fuelled up and headed for Exmouth. It was a lot warmer than Perth , heading towards Exmouth, about 36 deg at 4 pm. Stopped at the IGA on arrival and bought some chops, sausages and salad. Caught up with Julie and Paul Rumble after we had checked in. They are heading north too, for a road trip of about 3 months.
A pleasant sit-around BBQ at Judy and Gords ensued . Perfect temperature, about 23 deg, negligible breeze and clear skies. A late-ish turn in, about 11pm from memory.
