As we head south from Karratha we stopped overnight at Miaree Pool rest area which was a nice little swimming hole.
Heavy earthmoving equipment was being hauled over the bridge. The truck slowed to a stop and crawled over the bridge, I assume because of the weight of the dozer.
Mining near Fortescue River was quite impressive
You couldn't even see the truck on dumping the dirt!
and the dust settles
Off he goes
We arrived at Cale's mine site around midday
and rocked up at Judy and Steve's place in Exmouth about 5 hours later
The lad on the high seas
Umm yes hello there sir!
out of Exmouth the whales migrating south for the summer put on quite a display. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the fully grown whale that launched itself completely out of the water about 100 metres from our boat. Something that will stay in my memory for a very long time.
The skipper Steve
Whales not far from the boat
Mackerel =1 Fishermen = 0
Mackerel = 1 Fisherment = 1
One happy fisherman! We netted about 6 kgs of fresh meat from this beauty!
A tall training ship docked at Exmouth that we passed
Beautiful looking ship
and we head back home at a rate of knots
The next day we head over to Cape Range National Park for a look
We head off into the gorge for a drive
Ello, ello, ello!
Selfy
Tomorrow we are heading over to the West side of the peninsula to go snorkelling. Apparently the snorkelling here is spectacular!
