Karratha to Coral Bay

Playing a bit of catch up here but here goes.

We headed away from the very warm Karratha region in search of a little cooler area to relax. It was coming up to the weekend and we desperately wanted to stop. If we stop at a free camp spot in the 42 degree heat, would we have a good weekend or should we push further south to the coast again and hope for a 25 degree relaxing environment. Well the latter prevailed and we headed the long haul to Coral Bay, a popular spot for the Perth local to visit and right next to the Ningaloo reef. This spot was exactly what we were looking for, cool breezes of the water kept the temperature down to around the 25-27 degrees and the water was just right to snorkel in and generally have a great time in. The crowd wasn't ridiculously large but busy enough. We had to use our own water as the artesian water can't be put into the caravan tanks at all. They are very precious about their water. We had a great time there and enjoyed the fish feeding from the beach, the snorkeling and the metal detecting where we found enough money to pay for the snorkel gear hire.
