At last the wind has dropped - just in time for me to leave Exmouth.
Headed towards Carnarvon. Called into Coral Bay which is a nice little place at the southern end of Ningaloo Reef, that is if you don't mind sharing it with about 2000 other tourists. I was tempted to see if I could get a spot in the caravan park, but it looked a bit sardine-like.

There's fish galore everywhere you look, including this bait ball off the boat ramp. Marine Parks, eh?

Made it easily to Carnarvon. Found a quiet little caravan park which is practically deserted and booked in for 3 nights. I need to get a couple of new tyres for the ute, and catch my breath while I plan the next adventure.
