Wed 24 Aug 2011 Exmouth

0930 (12863 km) Breakfast of toast. Left caravan park.
1000 (12867 km) Exmouth Visitor Centre. Filled up.
1045 (12920 km) Cape Range National Park Visitor Centre. Saw information on whale sharks, manta rays, dugongs, etc. Lots of snakes preserved in jars.

Turquoise Bay - the dark patches in the sea are coral
1130 (12931 km) Turquoise Bay. We went snorkeling and drifted along the inner lagoon of Ningaloo Reef. There was quite a strong current. We went around to Turquoise Bay and it was calmer. We saw lots of marine life - sea cucumber, red starfish/seastar (had 6 legs), giant clam (40 cm), bright blue fish, zebra fish, schools and schools of fish. It was amazing that all these started just a few metres from shore and some were very shallow. It's clear how they would be damaged by careless people standing on them etc. Lunch of Ritz and Cruskits, dips, cabanossi.
1545 (12931 km) Left.
1640 (12995 km) Caravan park. Had dinner of the kids' favourite honey chicken and rice.
