Dispatches from Exmouth

Dear Reader, sorry it’s a feast or a famine on here.  We seem to be out of range much more often than Telstra suggested.  I’m blogging “off-line” and then posting when I get a chance….. hence the variety of fonts.  Sorry about that, I should have mastered it within the 12 months.

Yesterday we suddenly realised that school holidays are next week, so we needed to get to Ningaloo asap, before the Perth hoards arrive.  Coral Bay is completely booked out.  We have two nights in Exmouth – which seems like a great town – but for us is really a shopping destination.  We hope to get a camp in Cape Range National Park, and camp on the beach for a while…. but it’s first come first served there.  We’ll have to queue at the rangers office from around 6.30am, and hope that someone is leaving in order to get a spot.  So you can see that we won’t be doing that indefinitely!  If we don’t get in there, we may have missed out on Ningaloo due to bad timing, and will head back out towards Karajini National Park.  Either way, we’ll be off the Telstra grid again.

    I’ll read and comment properly later, but I did want to say that I’m very glad to see you posting—I can set Puggle’s mind at rest! He still asks most days whether there have been posts from you:-)

    What beautiful photos. Glad to see all is going so well… who doubted it would … good things come to the brave! Maybe you should start to write some articles for some parenting mags about ‘real’ travel opportunities with kids! Drop in to Turquoise Bay in the Cape Range National Park… it is beautiful. HAve fun on the next leg…
