Exmouth, Western Australia 29 July to 1 August

As mentioned previously, I went to Exmouth last week. Exmouth is a town and peninsula on the northern coast of Western Australia. It is a place to go snorkling, surfing, fishing, barbecuing and to express other manly virtues.

This is Justin and Jo. They hired a flat at Exmouth where we stayed and were all round awesome hosts. Forget about the cliches, these two are the real deal travelling couple. They're slowly driving back down to Perth (see map above). Safe journey guys!

The beach adjacent to Ningaloo Reef. Not the best place to go swimming (read - too many pointy rocks, ouch, ouch, ouch!) but how's the serenity??

Posing with my rod. I caught four... tangles in the fishing line. Cam (Jo's brother and keen fisherman) said he'd never seen anything like it before. I think he was really impressed... Ok, maybe not.

One of the beaches at Ningaloo Reef. Check out that water.

This plant (don't know its name) is said to have several healing qualities. It definitely clears blocked noses! Unfortunately, it's not an aphrodisiac.

Welcome to the intensive bulimia therapy exercise. Aka, travelling in a boat on choppy waters. This photo was taken before it got windy.

A porcupine caught jaywalking. Believe it or not, the spikes aren't that hard. They're more like nails.

Late afternoon in the Cape Range.

A gorge in the Cape Range. Breathtaking.

Jesus of Exmouth.
