Nothing much to report, but this was a helluva long drive – over 700 km – from Shark Bay up to Exmouth Gulf, with the temperature creeping up to 35 degrees. The car’s aircon was working at max pretty much all the way up. Mile after mile of straight road with little to catch the imagination. One has to drive around 200 km south from Monkey Mia before one can turn north up to Exmouth.
Finally arrived, car well and truly bug-spattered, at around 5.45 p.m. at a really nice resort – Mantarays Ningaloo Beach. This, like Monkey Mia, is pretty new – in fact the whole of Exmouth is pretty new – but is far better organised and better set up. Room is superb, with a great view and – wonder of wonders – a jacuzzi bath! WiFi’s pretty dodgy, though…..
Excellent meal in the resort restaurant followed and a relatively early night.
