Saturday 2nd January

We leave Exmouth and head to Coral Bay - this place is PACKED with holiday makers which is a REAL pity as we would of loved to spend a few days here (next time round)  This is the most beautiful seaside village (on the Ningaloo Reef).

We arrive in Carnarvon and check in for one night only (the Big 4), we don't think much of Carnavon and are not going to pay $2 per adult and $1 per child to walk on a Jetty!!!

We say a sad and teary goodbye to all the friends we have spent Christmas with (we will catch up again on the road!!) and head south alone.

We pull into Free camp 619 (camps 5) its a nice big area and we pull up beside the table and chairs under the shelter (no one else here).  There is a real nice cool breeze but the flies are incredible!!!  We have to sit inside - we play cards and do crosswords.  That evening the fli...

We spend the next few days checking out the local beaches - AWESOME.  We also check out the 2 major shopping centres - this is a real treat as being in Kuna for so long with just Coles, 1 country Target and not much else there is such a HUGE variety of shops here.  We all get some much needed new clothes, swimmers and thongs (for the 2 girls).

To Quote John Williamsons famous song "Welcome all to Broome...
