Farewell Exmouth

Today is our last day in Exmouth and sadly represents the turnaround point in our journey.
It has been great to relive parts of our honeymoon and to be able to share it with our kids and best friends, the McDermotts. It is also a part of the celebration for Daniel and Macca’s 50th year.
We have seen parts of Exmouth that haven’t changed (VLF towers, red dirt, the dry heat, the Navy Pier, Stalag 20, Turquoise Beach) and some that have (no emus in the Main Street, the “crowds”, no kangaroos and few reptiles, a lot more shops).
We spent our last day at the beaches - first we tried Oyster Stacks, supposedly one of the better snorkelling spots but we found there to be les diversity in corals and aquatic life. The entry and exit are also terrible with razor sharp rocks that cut up many.
After an hour we moved onto Turquoise Beach. We were lucky to jag one of the last parking spots with the help of the Parks & Conservation staff.
Returning to what I think has to be the best beach in Australia, we snorkeled for over an hour, finding all kinds of aquatic life, including white tip reef sharks, turtles, the big grouper of Turquoise Beach, anemone fish and an octopus. Michael found the sharks and turtles and was very pleased with himself.
We spent around 3 hours At Turquoise Beach. A nice end to our time here in Exmouth.
Again there was a concert at the oval opposite the caravan park. We headed over that way to get a group photo in our tour t-shirts.
A very early start tomorrow to drive to Coral Bay to be on a boat for manta rays.Read more
