Saturday 22nd September - Friday 27th September 2012 - Exmouth/Cape range National Park

We left Karratha and Dan & the kids and headed south to Exmouth for some sun, fishing and snorkeling. We spent the first 2 nights at the light house caravan park as Cape Range National Park was  full. We managed to catchup with another family that we had met in Kakadu.
The next day we did some exploring and took the kids down to Leamouth Jetty. Olivia had some success fishing and caught a fish much to her delight.

We also took a drive around to the lighthouse and into town. Ed managed a fish in the late afternoon on the beach. Unfortunately the wind started to pick up and we had a very windy night.
On Monday we drove down to Yuli Beach in the Cape Range National Park to camp for 5 nights. Apart from the annoying wind we had a great time there. Every day we went snorkelling at Turquoise Bay or Oyster Stacks. It was so much fun as all of us can now do it together, although Thomas gets cold quickly and doesn't last out in the water as long as the girls.(Even with a wet suit and floating vest on!). We saw some beautiful coral and lots of fish.
We spent time exploring the beaches and fishing here and there as well. We enjoyed our days chilling out at the beach and trying to stay out of the wind. The late afternoon and nights were very windy.

The wind got worse so we cut our stay by one night and headed south - just a little!
