Exmouth

Woke to the sun shining and a clear blue sky.
With less than 100 kms to drive today we enjoyed the morning at Bullara Station by taking the ‘Bottle Walk’ (marks by bottles on sticks for 1.3kms) out to the red sand dune and spotted a bower birds nest on the way.
As we left the station we called in at the homestead for coffee and scones in the sun before heading for Exmouth.
Following a recommendation from Neville and Judy at Bullara we stopped off at the Krait / Potshot memorial. This was the departure point for the Krait in WW2 which sailed to Singapore Harbour, sinking 5 ships in a raid and then returned to base. Potshot was the name of the American base established at this point to service and resupply submarines during WW2.
After stopping here we headed into Exmouth and set up before having lunch in the town centre, a Beef and Reef pie containing steak, prawns and scallops.
Went out to the Vlamingh Head lighthouse, once again with a fantastic display on the lighthouse precinct and its contribution to WW2.Read more
