We arrived in Exmouth with hopes of more snorkeling, boat trips and some walking in the Cape Range national park, only for fate to vomit on our cornflakes and send some wind and rain to spoil our plans. Fortunately, Exmouth had other things to keep us occupied, we visited the Frothy Microbrewery (see post below on best pint) and pub, browsed the shops, did some caravan maintenance and visited the Exmouth Aquarium and visitor center. Where we managed to get some photos of the fish we saw down at Coral Bay.
On the way into Exmouth there are lots of Termite mounds made by the Spinifex termite that eats grass not wood like most termites so would be good to have in your back garden to keep the grass down, however at 2m tall it may take up a bit too much space, Jools thought the mounds looked like dinosaur poo.
Just to break up the day a bit we had a visit from 2 Emus into the campsite. Jools chased them to get this photo like Rod Hull in need of a new partner.
Cadillacs bar was just next door to our campsite and was a very well done country music-themed bar with a great soundtrack. Spent a few happy hours there, no craft beer but a very acceptable pint of Guinness cold.
Got a lovely piece of Goldband snapper and some prawns from the Fresh Fish Shack. New favorite fish BBQ’ed up a treat
Last, but not least Jools started by feeding one very scruffy looking Cockatoo, which quickly became six cockatoos, four pigeons and a seagull, followed the next morning by all the above and a troop of Galahs. One of the cockatoos even peeled our camping mat back with its beak to get at any seed that had fallen through the mesh.
