Day 114 - Travelling around Coral Bay

Hi everyone, I hope you are all warm and happy. Me, I'm pretty happy...why you ask. Firstly, I've been snorkelling all day on the Ningaloo reef, and secondly, I'm on my 3rd Fosters Lager.

So my day seriously just consisted of the beach and snorkelling. I went on a 2 hour snorkelling trip, that got me to the best areas in Coral Bay. Heaps and heaps of fish, and great visibility. Absolutely loved it.

As part of the trip, we got to see a baby hump-back whale carcass. Now, not that interesting in that comment, but in the fact that it was alive 8 days ago, and now it's totally gone (see below), very amazing.

So, I think my suntan is starting to kick in again, which I'm happy about.

Now Head, yes, you know who I'm talking about. I bumped into a couple who'd just been on the Whale-shark tour that we're doing. They loved it. Not only did they see Whale Sharks, 4 times, they also saw live Humpback whales, and Manta Rays. I'm so excited.

Anyway, it's time to go. Feeling much happier than I was this time yesterday. But still, if friends were here......

  1. Wish I was there too mate... it's a lovely 13 degrees here today. Would have loved to have been snorkelling out there with you, looks awesome! Oh well maybe in August. Dad is teeing up Jamie as we speak.

  3. Sue....I don't think we needed to dive, the water was so clear, I didn't need to delve down at all. But yes, a pity none-the-less. Oh, but so sweet, the Pies/Swans game. It was so good, I watched it twice that day, OK, I was a little drunk.

    Lance - Good to hear about your dad/Jamie work. Hopefully he can take us out "Barra" fishing, or do you want to catch some more "grunters". Oh, and sorry about the weather, it was only 28 today.
