One of the highlights of our trip and definitely one to put on your bucket list…swimming with whale sharks at Exmouth (Ningaloo Reef).  We also saw octopus, manta rays, sea horses and dugongs.  Turquoise Bay was also amazing.

Giant, gentle creatures that were just as interested in us, as we were of them.

After this we were off to Tom Price where we did a Rio Tinto iron ore mining tour.  It's on such a massive scale that four trains at 2.5 kilometres long were constantly transporting from TP to the port of Karatha. 

and we got our first (shredded) flat tyre

Next was Francois Peron national park -- Shelly beach for obvious reasons

Unfortunately we missed feeding time at Monkey Mia but we have seen many dolphins since then along our journey.

We made our way north to Warroora Station -- awesome place, very isolated.
After that was probably our favourite spot in all of Australia to camp but you couldn't live there--Ningaloo Reef.  Amazing. 
Funny enough,  it's the place we have the least photos of.  I guess that's because we were too busy enjoying it.

The water was turquoise blue, clear as and so warm and the fish were jumping onto our hooks…good times

So,  here we are in February, our trip almost done, and I am going back to June to catch up…don't get me started.
So when I last left you at Perth casino, we then headed north to Kalbarri.  Had a blast here camping on the river.
What do you mean there's no surf in Kalbarri….wrong!!!!

We stayed here a week with great mates we met along the way and did some hiking and visited 'natures window' -- pictures don't do it justice.

Oh and by the way,  they're not very smart here in WA ;)
