Coral Bay..

Hi Everyone,
Well this place should be called, Snorkelers Paradise.
Coral Bay is a very small place it is only 1 klm and that consits of two caravan parks, two small shopping centres. Mainly tourist tour shops  and dive shops Plus a pub and resort. That is it.
Since leaving home 6 month ago, This town has the most young people, as well as grey nomads, it is great.
It is heaven here. there is only one problem this time of year is the wind. It never stops blowing, 25knotts. Although we feel if there wasn`t a wind it would be too hot. So it keeps the temperature down a little. So take the good with the bad.
We are all staying in the Peoples caravan Park, that is right on the water, with different sites, Tez preferred to be right smack on the beach, the others went up the back with a few minuets walk down.
But we have every day on the beach, and dinner together most days.
We have walked around the beach to the shark nursery.
On Sunday John, Sandy, Stephen, Carol, and myself all went on a snorkeling cruise in a glass bottom boat. That was something else.  Cas reckons that that was the highlight of her trip so far.For someone who didn`t feel confidant in the water, we are now calling her Val, every opportunity they get her and Sandy are wanting to go back into the water and snorkel. They are very good.
Even though I like it I can still hear that Jaws Music.
Although the scene under there is a garden under the sea it is magic.
The colours of the fish are A M A Z I N G. We are diving on Ningaloo Reef.
This is the only country in the world that has a coral reef on the west side of a country. That in its self is
A M A Z I N G.
Tez and the boys went around to where they could fish yesterday afternoon. [ as most of this is a sanctuary] Although  the wind was very bad he still managed to catch a large Queen Fish. No photo the boys didn`t take a camera, It come back in fillets. Sorry.....
This has been a very relaxing place.
Oh! another thing is the water you  use is artisan boar water, very salty. Then you go to a special tap to get your drinking water. It seems like it will be like this for a fare way down the coast.
When and if, you ever come here you have to have all your food as there is only a very small very expensive super market. One small piece of sweet potato $2-65. Those stripped bags $2-00 at The Reject Shop. Here they are $5 -80 each. A tin of curry powder $4-80. So you cant afford to buy anything here.
We are going to Canarvan tomorrow so Woollies is there and it will cost us a fortune as we will be refilling the cupboards, as we have almost hit rock bottom.
Cas and Stephen are going with us, but Sandy and John have to go back to Exmouth to have their new fridge installed. YES!!!!! Dometic, have finally agreed to replace their fridge. It has only taken 11 months.So they will stay to make sure all is o.k. then meet us further on.
It wont be long and we will be on our own for awhile as everyone is doing something different for Xmas.
Then we all meet again, mid January.
So that will seem strange, But it will be good for all probably.
Heard from Sarah and Matt last night, They have their van all fixed now.
Matt has bought a new rod so can`t wait to meet up with us again, so he can go fishing with Tez and the boys, again.

  1. Di, you're still wearing out the A M Z I N G on your keyboard :) Perhaps you should consider another adjective.
