ARMSTRONGS ADVENTURES: Day 38-45 Exmouth -Shark Bay

It was back on the road after an interesting stay at Karratha, we were headed to Exmouth to explore the Ningaloo Reef .
This was so different to travelling through the Pilbara mining area, we were on the coast with beautiful blue water and abuntant sealife. We caught up with a friend of my sisters who was a wealth of information on the area. Yvonne and Ross also introduced us to the wonderful world of good fish, when we were invited to their home for dinner. We had a great night.
Shark bay was fabulous, we stayed for a few days so we could experience Monkey Mia, where the feeding of the dolphins takes place. This is very touristy but it was still worth a visit. We also took a boat cruise in which we experienced the sighting of more dolphins, sea turtles and dugongs.
We were lucky the day was sunny and the waters calm so it was easy to see in the water and the dugongs were feeding on seagrass on the sandy bottom.
A trip to Cape Peron was next on the agenda, this was a 4wd road which was mainly sand but the 50 or so kilometre trip was worth it, spectacular views from the cliff tops and from the beach when we reached the cape. The waters were so clear you could see sea turtles, rays and sharks from the cliffs. We also found a thorny devil lizard on the road, which we helped to the other side so he wouldn't get run over.
