This is now our fourth night in at Cape Range National Park
and I have been unable to post this blog at the time of writing as we have not
had any internet, mobile phone, tv, power or access to water only what we have
brought in with us, until we get back into Exmouth tomorrow. Our first night here we spent at the Yardie
Creek Campsite, we had a beautiful vista from the van overlooking the sand
dunes and out to the Ingaloo Reef, unfortunately we could only stay there the
one night as the site was book from the following day. Our camp host was able
to get us a transfer to Lakeside Campsite, the site is a hundred metres from
the beach and you only have to walk 500 metres along the beach to the most
magnificent snorkelling reef. Hopefully Bazz will come for a snorkel today as
he has been quiet happy to sit on the beach while I have been enjoying the
wonders of the marine life. We have been lucky enough to see pods of dolphins,
turtles, whales and I have seen many species of tropical fish. We have been
very lucky to have been able to spend this time here as the area is very
popular and is booked months in advance there are five campsites that can be
pre booked and four that you can stay for up to 28 days and you just have to be
there at the right time when someone moves out.
We would have not had a chance in the school holidays even getting in
for a night we heard that they were lined up at the rangers gate from early hours of the morning. We would
have had to come in for day trips to be able to enjoy the beach & reef each
day, being here is like being on a
tropical island the water is such a turquoise blue and so very clear with
beautiful pristine sand, we are loving
it.
Bazz has taken to reading my Kindle, lucky that I have had
some light reading to keep me going or we may have been fighting over it. This
has been a very good time to sit and read and enjoy the very quiet evenings
listening to the sounds of the wind & sea.
When we leave here we are booked in at the Exmouth Cape Holiday Park where
we will again catch up with Maree & Brian who we last saw booking in at the
caravan park four days ago with their friends, hopefully they have been able to
catch some fish.
Yeah finally got Bazz in the water for a snorkel !!!!
