Paradise

The coastline between Exmouth and Coral bay is truly amazing

 Snorkeling here is a blessing from god unlike the great barrier reef where you need a boat here it is straight off the beach

 Below is the shark nursery

Since we have been in this area we have seen humpback whales turtles sting rays manta rays thousands of fish while snorkeling I even managed to catch a couple for tea also a 2.5 meter Queensland groper named Merv who lives at the boat ramp in Coral bay he can be regularly seen under the boats and we were lucky enough to see him we spent some time snorkeling in turquoise bay exmouth and in coral bay Last time we were here we went swimming with the whale sharks that is magic wrong time of the year this time the weather is perfect it truly is the best beach location in Australia

I have not got too much in the way of pics no underwater camera and i was having too much fun to take photos anyway from here down south for a wedding and then back to work in a few weeks not much between here and Perth that would really excite me seen it all too many times

Cooling down

We move down to broome walk on cable beach and generally cool down below is the prison boab tree in Derby

 The Malcolm Douglas wildlife center in broome during a snake demonstration

 a few friendly locals

 found this sign on town beach in Broome

some nice coastline around here

onwards to eighty mile beach for a spot of fishing nobody keeps the catfish so back it goes

That is fishing when there is water the tides are enormous up here ah well just have to have a beer and wait for the tide to change again

 we found this jelly fish on the beach it is about 800mm diameter I have  never seen one so big before

And another great eighty mile sunset

Then it was off past Port Hedland and Karratha nothing there to see We are stopped on the way by a family needing a jump start which we did boy has there been some breakdowns on the side of the road this trip Then its into Exmouth for some great snorkeling which is where we are now the ningaloo reef certainly gives the Great barrier reef a run for its money especially as you can snorkel it straight off the beach the amount of sea life is amazing
