Lee & Jim's Travels: Our Travells from Exmouth to Perth September to October 2014

Hi all

Arrived in Exmouth and was surprised it was not as big as we thought it was, booked into Big4 caravan park 3 nights and had a good look round and did a sunset whale watching cruise for our wedding anniversary which was lovely.

We then went down to free camp in Cape Range National Park, and stay 4 nights in Mesa Camp for $6.60pn and visited all the other camps and bays down to Yardie Creek

We drove down the highway heading for Carnarvon and stopped in at Coral Bay to have a look but it looked so good we stayed a week and it was great, under the boat ramp there lives a groper call Merve he estimated to be around 350 to 400kg and about 7 foot log (see picture)

Continued down to Carnarvon ( I thought it was larger than it is) we had a look at the Blow Holes and HMAS Sydney memorial and the mile long jetty which was not that good and they charge $5 for the privilege. There was not much else to see or do in Carnarvon, we had a drive around the farms to look for good fruit and veg but but they charge more at farm gate than the supermarkets and only take cash we only got some bananas, which were very small ones.

After a night camp at Gladstone lookout, we went into Denham (Shark Bay) and spent a week relaxing and fishing having a drink or two.

Then we headed for Perth so Lee could have some more tests, we are now camped in Perth until we get some results and we will resume the Blog when we hit the road again.
