Day 31 - 33 ( I think, starting to lose track of days) Exmouth & Niingaloo

Well yesterday would have to be one of my best days on the trip. After the wind finally abated, we had the chance to explore Yardie Gorge, where beautiful colours of the gorge made for spectacular photography ( I hope). Then back to Turquoise Bay to try my hand at snorkelling in the gorgeous water and along the Niingaloo reef. Thanks to Elaine, I eventually got the right idea and the hang of snorkelling enjoying the underwater world provided by nature. Blue, striped, large, small, starfish, you name it it was there. Rob and Bec even seeing a reef shark!
After returning back to the Yardie Creek Homestead CP, we set up the projector again and invited all the immediate neighbours to a showing of Red Dog. Even though I have seen it before ( as most of us had), one couple who had just come from Dampier had not see the movie, but the real statue instead, thought it was fabulous.
We have now left the camp and are doing some exploration of Exmouth. There is certainly much construction here at present, with building marinas, homes etc. all very impressive but quite out of our price range. The cheapest block I saw in the real estate was $200,000. We are now heading inland (I think) to Karagini NP, for  hopefully some reprieve from the wind. WA they tell me now stands for Windy Aye! I can believe it.
Well until next time......
