Wanting to do something different in Western Australia, we decided to leave behind the well-trodden Albany trail and head north to Exmouth, home of the famed Ningaloo Park where whale sharks frequent each March. Unfortunately it was summer so we donned our sunglasses, took our handy fly swatters and hit the vast empty lands. Early each morning we would see dead kangaroos on the road with vultures hovering above. Sometimes it was a rabbit or a fox which we soon unkindly called road pizza. We also almost killed a parrot when we drove into a flock of the most colourful birds. At the end of each evening we would examine the road trophies on our radiator gauze -dead flies, bees, etc. About midway to Ningaloo, we stopped at Monkey Mia where we touched two dolphins that faithfully come to shore every morning. We also made a trip out to sea and saw seacows and dugongs. We spent a lot of time fishing and even swam among the magical world of coral reefs and large pelagic fishes at Coral Bay. It was the most memorable visit for our family. There was the sun, sea, surf and sand. Each morning a glorious sunrise and each evening a blazing golden sunset. We were one with nature! Congratulations Khong Bee! You’ve won for yourself a Lonely Planet travel guide. |
