October 24, Day 183 Exmouth, Coral Bay

We went for a walk along the beach at Exmouth yesterday and saw a large turtle swimming off the beach, we tried swimming but it was a bit rocky and with the danger of stone fish, we decided to make use of the pool at the caravan park we stayed at. On our return from the beach, an emu was ahead of us on the path and we followed him all the way back to where we were camped, apparently he is a regular and freely roams around as he pleases, much to the delight of the foreign tourists and kids alike.

Today we stopped at Coral Bay for lunch where Erin tried to swim above the coral off shore but got a little spooked and didn't want to go in again. I think too many tales of sharks in reefs might have had something to do with it.

We are staying overnight at Rocky Pool, about 50km east of Carnarvon tonight, there's water in the pool but around it is very dry and dusty. Still finding it very windy everywhere, at least it has settled down of a night here, Exmouth blew all night.
