Exmouth

Exmouth, situated on a cape in the Gascoyne Coast of Western Australia is dead boring, but the National Park and Marine Park around it is the most phenomenal place we've seen. Ningaloo Reef Marine Park starts from just above Exmouth, wraps around the cape and travels about 150kms south along the coast. I wont bore you with EVERYTHING we saw, but here's a little taste.

Blue-Spotted Ray

Wussy Blue Fish (?)

Groper / Tusk Fish (saw loads of these)

Yellow Tail Snapper (I think)

Starfish Maybe? :)

Some Type of Rock Cod?

Trevally (BIG!)

...and a GIANT Hawksbill Turtle

He was quite the poser. The above photo (not the below photo).

So you can understand why we were pretty happy to be getting into the water to snorkel! But we were just as lucky below the water as we were above the water. The wildlife in the land-based National Park was also pretty impressive. Below is another collection of wildlife that we could capture.

Emus

Goannas

Kangaroos

Petas (Please watch out for Petas crossing roads whilst holding packets of chips and a small children)

Loud cockatoos playing

Big Pelicans

And this was all before we went on the cruise to go diving with the whale sharks!
