Day 42 & 43 - Under water wonderland

We have just come in from fishing and walking the 'beach' and are now enjoying a beautiful sunset overlooking the beach at Cape Keraudren.
Don't let me fool you, the rest of the day was very ordinary with, yes you guessed it, more wind!
We travelled here yesterday and set up the camp. We were warned about the midges, but taking appropriate action we have avoided most of the nasty critters.
My title gives you a clue as to my favourite part of this place.Although the scenery is special, it is the underwater world that is truly awesome.  On low tide you can walk, for miles and the further out you go the better the underwater scenery. Corals, clams, crabs, octopus, sea slugs, turtles etc etc. different colours, different shapes.
You can't stand still for long before something moves, or squirts you: so even when you think everything is dormant take a closer look!
Now the fishing. Denis has produced again, this time with some nice Threadfin Salmon. Doug and Paul caught some Trevally, Robin and Bec - yet to score (here).
Well it certainly is a nice place to visit and I'm glad in one way we came now as most of the tourists have left. Apparently the place had over three hundred here two weeks ago!
I think tomorrow we head up north as we are past our halfway (time-wise) point. Still four hundred kms from Broome and then Cape Levique our furthest point. Till next time.....
