We moved North towards the Cape Range National Park, and
eventually to Exmouth. This took us through the Learmonth Airforce Base
(do not trespass, other than driving through – target practice maybe) and the
Cape Range NP.
A lot of people camping at most of
the designated camping spots along the coast – all very open to the
weather so did not appeal to us.
We proceeded around the top – past
the North West Cape joint US/Australian communications base, and to
Exmouth.
Exmouth rather a non-event – its fame is as a jumping off point
for divers exploring wrecks and the whale sharks.
Some expensive resorts and nice beaches as
well, but not the weather for swimming yesterday – rather overcast.
Not tempted to stay, we continued on down the
main road back to Coral Bay where we’ve got a quiet spot up the back of the
caravan park. En route, the gorges of the Cape Range NP were worth seeing.
