Regrettably, we have to move on from Coral Bay tomorrow. Garry now feels that we should have stayed here longer as it is idyllic, but the Park is fully booked and we are expected in Exmouth. It has been wonderful with perfect days except for yesterday. What a difference!
It began to rain early on Saturday morning and this quickly turned into a deluge. Lots of camp sites and the shops and roads all flooded. Opposite us two families had just erected their tents when our road flooded and they got muddy water through everything. They moved today as their site is still a muddy puddle, but we were fine. I spent the day catching up on some French oral work and other odd jobs, and Garry was happy reading the paper and walking about in between showers. He went over to see the fish feeding in the afternoon and he said that was very interesting. About 40 very large red emperor fish come in to water around 60 cms deep and will actually take food from your hand, as well as swim all around your legs etc. Despite the number of fish about, we have not seen one fisher person catch anything which is surprising really.

Every other day we have just gone to the beach and Garry goes snorkeling while I sun myself. It has been a great "holiday" during our travels... not that we needed one at all, but it has been most enjoyable. Tonight we climbed the lookout to watch the sun set and the sky turn pink. Coral Bay has to be one of the special places in the world.
Fittingly, while we were here, Ningaloo Reef was made a World Heritage Site, and that has to be a good thing for this area and WA.
