The drive from Perth to Exmouth was LONG, and mostly through the desert. Comprehending the vast nothingness that makes up the majority of Western Australia is boggling to the mind.
After driving 7 hours on Saturday we stopped in Kalbarri to break up the trek. Had a great seafood dinner, then the next morning went for a surf at Jake’s Point, one of the premier waves in Western Oz. Didn’t get it all that good as the wind was up, which created nice mogul sized bumps in the wave face. Got one fun wave, but nothing spectacular.
Sunday was another long drive to Coral Bay, a little town next to the Ningaloo Reef that is about 150 kilometers South of Exmouth. Camped out and then the next morning had a snorkel before making the drive to Exmouth.
But the drive was completely worth it the next day when we got on a boat to go swim with the whale sharks. Words truly do not do justice to those giants of the sea. Such a magical day, and we were fortunate to get a plethora of time in the water with the biggest fish in the ocean. Unfortunately the disposable camera we bought to take pictures underwater does no justice to our experience on the reef. You can’t have it all, right? The good quality photo is courtesy of Tyler, back when he used to work in Exmouth.
