Day 122 – 18th September – Exmouth National Park

We have been eagerly anticipating our stay in the Cape Range National Park.  We have seen some amazing things on our adventure but my favourite part of the world is still the Ningaloo Coast…

We arrived in the park late in the morning only to be told today, between 12pm and 1pm , would be the only day where the tides were high enough to snorkel over the Oyster Stacks.  So we did a super fast set up, bolted down some lunch and before we knew it, we were in the water for some snorkelling action.

Here’s our camp spot with a million dollar view.  We were lucky enough to book a site right on the water front. 


In the water 



The sea breeze picked up by the end of our snorkel so we were back at camp by mid-afternoon.  As we were lazing about I was watching some fairy-wrens in the bushes right next to our camp.  Out of nowhere a goanna starts slithering through the tree trying to catch one of the wrens… it was very cool… I love nature up close and personal!  Never fear, the goanna didn’t catch his lunch this time… 



After the sea breeze settled down a bit we went for a wander up the beach.  Did I mention how much I love this part of the coast? 



Looking back at our camper – the one furthest to the right



It’s been a while since I’ve done a foot shot… 



As we were walking we noticed this shell just at the shoreline.  It was massive!  The animal was still inside but it didn’t seem to be alive… we weren’t sure so we put him back in the water and left him in peace…
