Osprey Bay - The Ningaloo

What a day! Not a whisper of wind, it was spectacular. For some reason everyone set up for the day on this cramped bit of beach, but we walked up around the path a bit and had a whole bay to ourselves, it was like being on a tropical island. The kids spent the morning snorkelling with turtles in the shallows.

Kat purchased a dome for the GoPro so we went chasing turtles and tried to photograph one taking a breath, it is a lot harder than it looks.

The big boys went out fishing.

When it was time for lunch it was nearly impossible to drag the kids out of the water, they were having such a good time, Kat and I also found it hard to get out, the water was so warm it was like a bath. We had to ask ourselves “ how hungry are we?”.

After lunch we headed straight back down for another swim and some more turtle chasing. Brett and Shaun turned up with their catch.
2 coronation trout
1 cobia
1 rankin cod
But they were not happy, their mackerel and tuna had been sharked. They filleted the fish they had and announced they were going for another trawl.

Kat and I announced we were going back to drink cocktails 😂.

Whilst drinking our cocktails the boys arrived back in a much better mood as Shaun had caught a massive 1.4m mackerel! They were so happy with this catch they let go of a second mackerel that was around 1.0m.Read more
