Camping up the Coral Coast

Blog posts to come this week.  For now, you can view the photos on my Picasa page @ http://picasaweb.google.com/Lia.Brezavar/CoralCoastAustralia.

For Rob's mid-semester school holiday break, I took a week off of work, and we went camping up the Coral Coast, heading north from Perth, and stopping all along the way up to Ningaloo Reef, and finally made it to Exmouth a week later. It was a perfect trip, minus a few, maybe 5, driving incidents (one of which was my fault), oh and one food poisoning case. Loggerhead turtles, Emus, Dolphins, Pelicans, Water Snakes, Manta Rays, Swimmer's Crab, Grey Reef Sharks and Humpback Whales. Kayaking, Snorkeling, Diving, Hiking, Campfires, Boat Tours, Fresh Dhu Fish, Oysters, Mussels, Bugs (from the sea), walks on the beach, spectacular sunsets, lots of beer, scenic drives, and much more....
