Wednesday 22/10/08 Naruntara to Exmouth - Hot
Up early, lovely ride to Exmouth turnoff then a very dry hot ride out to Exmouth. Stopped at the Lighthouse campsite, set up, and then chilled out at the beach,noticed turtle tracks up the beach.
Went up the lighthouse to watch the sunset, and met some other travellers staying at the same place. Ended up playing cards into the night and checking up on the turtles but no joy.
Thursday23/10/08 Exmouth (Ningaloo)
Woke up early and Geoff and I jumped a lift out to Ningaloo in a camper van with one of the travellers we met thee previous night.
Ningaloo was amazing 50 -60 kms of beautiful white beaches facing on to the reef, went out to Yardie creek gorge and then on to Turquoise bay.
Turquoise bay was beautiful, white coral sand, aqua blue, crystal clear water with the reef 15metres of the beach. Alsoa slow current running right to left along the beach, so just jumped in with the snorkel gear and float 200 metres over the reef to the sand bar. Great fish, allthe usual suspects plus reef sharks.
Cruised back to the campsite via a couple of other beaches and saw turtles and Dolphins.
Awesome day topped of with another lighthouse sunset , with a couple of humpback whales frolicking off the coast.
