Cape Range National Park
















Our 7 day stay at Cape Range National Park has definitely been one of the highlights of this trip. From 6.30am we waited in line at the ranger's office until 8.00am when they started allocating sites. We were number 13 in the queue (Sean, Steph and Jonah were number 12) so we weren't very hopeful, but thankfully we made it in. Both campervans were offered a campsite at the Kurrajong camp which was a brilliant spot on a lovely beach for swimming, fishing and snorkeling and no generators allowed. Our camp hosts Tony and Marie were a lovely couple from Perth and made us feel very welcome. We spent our days exploring the snorkeling spots within the park, hiking up Yardie Creek and Mandu Gorges, windsurfing, fishing and swimming. At our campsite we met some really great people including Christiana from Germany who joined us each night either for dinner or after dinner for some singing (we introduced her to the coconut boat). Simon caught a Spangled Emperor and a Long Tom for tea one night, and Anthony caught a Cuttlefish with his bare hands! It was a great week by the Ningaloo Marine Park that we enjoyed very much.
