Exmouth

Quick drive to Exmouth today and we could check in to our site as soon as we arrived. The park is large and still very busy. After setting up we walked into town which was a 5 minute walk. The town centre is a small open mall with a selection of tour booking offices, clothing and food stores.

Lunch from the bakery was delicious. We got a few essentials from the supermarket and walked back to the camp. I was expecting the town to overlook the water but the shops along with most of the houses are actually built on the middle of the peninsula and away from the water. The information centre is across the road from the camp along with the giant prawn (see the photo) so checked out where everything is.

Our first destination was Town Beach which you can drive down onto. The sea was very calm so a swim was essential. It was a great and then we chatted to a couple of locals. One of them said he was there as the whales come along around 4pm each day and sure enough we spotted two whales cruising past. Luckily we had the binoculars in the car so we spent 20 mins watching them cruise past, it was super cool.

We drove around the rest of town and back to the camp. It was another sunny warm afternoon so perfect for a bit of reading with a pre-dinner drink. This holiday life is pretty good.Læs mere
