Days 20 - 22: Coral Bay
Well, it's been a while, but I'm going to see how I go remembering our trip so far down the track ....
So, after we left beautiful Denham and Monkey Mia, we made our way North up the Western Coast to the gorgeous Coral Bay. We loved this place and certainly plan on heading back there one day. It was also the first time in our trip, that it hit home that we weren't the only young ones travelling around the country. Western Australian winter school holidays were on and didn't we know it - people were EVERYWHERE and very few camp sites left. In fact, we even had to stay in a motel one night because there weren't any camp sites left - such a shame!!
Anyway, we had a great time exploring the coast. Unfortunately I was too much of a wimp to hop in the water (it was still the middle of winter!) but Nick had a great time snorkelling Ningaloo Reef and doing some spear fishing at a little spot called 'Five Fingers'.
Here are a few photos:
This is the day I should have gone in for a dip - stunning!
Nick spearing at Five Fingers with a whole heap of reef sharks circling him!!
He was pretty stoked about this one - and now I can't remember what it was called :( The other one is a parrot fish of course!
After bringing in the fish, being chased by the sharks, Nick thought he'd have a go at catching on of the sharks ...
Rigging the line
The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Fine weather, a 4WD and spear fishing gear!
Wish we had: Flake for dinner!
