Ningaloo

We spent a couple of days on the west coast where we snorkeled from the beach directly onto the reef.
- At Turquoise Bay, a convenient current allows for a low energy flipper along the reef and a walk back for another run.
- Oyster Stacks has little islands that are formed by Oysters growing over themselves and forming a large flat top. Fish love these things and pack into the shelter under the ledges. Great fun for snorkelling @ less than 100m from the shore.
- We moved into Exmouth Town from the National Park to access some amenities and for an early start on a snorkelling tour on the outer reef off Muiron Islands (Some underwater photos are coming from some folk with underwater cameras). Really diverse reef features on a day with “epic visibility” according to those that know. So many corals, so many fish, heaps of green turtles, White Tip and Black Tip Reef Sharks of various sizes, a massive Cow Tailed Ray and other watery critters. The boat had a fantastically enthusiastic and knowledgeable crew and only 20 passengers: 12 Scuba and 8 snorkelling so it did not feel at all busy.

Back on dry land we squeezed in a bush walk traversing the top of Cape Range on the Badjirrajirra Trail that takes in some extraordinary terrain around Shothole Cannon.Okumaya devam et
