• Coral Bay to Exmouth

    June 20 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Started my morning with a coffee from the bakery, which was very good, walked along the beach of yet another gorgeous sleepy coastal town, although full of tourists felt relaxed and friendly.
    Cooked breakfast at campsite before relocating our home closer to the beach, walked over the sand dune to a beautiful reef 50m off shoreline. Snorkelled the reef with sting rays and reef fish of all colours. I tried to use an water proof pouch for my phone to take photos, but it didn't work too well for me.... need more practice with that.
    Coral has been damaged by cyclone, which then had an algea outbreak, which will take around 10 years to return to original status.
    The midges/sand flies were really bad, and I had to spray myself down at the beach before going in the water.
    We then drove to Exmout and checked into RAC cape holiday park, fantastic amenities.
    Of course, we had to stop at the golf course for a ball and score card, haha.
    Late afternoon, we went to Viamingh Lighthouse for sunset,  missed it mostly due to being overcast.
    Cooked dinner at camp kitchen and ate back at van, surrounded by mozzie candles and sandlewood sticks.
    Had an amazing hot shower at amenities. It's amazing the small things we miss and love the most.
