These are some of the grounds at Bullara where we stayed for the 2wks school hols. It has been a fantastic place to stay and thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
We had outside showers and the shower roses were as big as dinner plates and the endless hot water provided by a donkey. ask and we will tell you bout the donkey..
Beautiful showers..
Some of the locals came in to check us out each afternoon. Our van is just next to this fence.
Billy having his first ever ride on a horse. How confident does he look....NOT... The horse was 35 yrs old so he was pretty safe and in no chance of bolting.
Some beautiful sunsets from our van.
What can I say, "they just fall all over me wherever I go. No, these are Olivia and Lucy and they own Bullara and they are soooo cute. They were our tour guides and Billy went to their classroom for a couple of days which he loved.
Just one of the kids cubby houses, they had plenty. Tildy is the farm dog and she is gorgie too.
Dave has been out doin his chores getting the firewood for the Donkey and our own personal camp fire. Good chance to try out the chain saw, she works!!!!
We went for a walk with the girls to the red sand dunes and they were unreal. It was just like beach sand only RED. They played for ages rolling down and tackling one another. Bad choice of shorts colour Billy. They are now permanently red.
The colours around this place are beautiful
Yes we can still watch the footy while we cook on the camp fire.. Stae of origin , why did we bother
This is our camp site, how bloody organised I say..We cooked every meal on there including roast lamb bakey, scones, fish, prawns and scollops, stews, dampers YUMMO....but Dave reckons Denise's 1st damper made excellent firewood. It burnt for hours... Can't believe I just wrote that and didn't kill him...
This is outside our van just before sunset

Exmouth to Cape range National Park
Here we go....
Day 1 and the locals were all out shopping. Dave was sitting in the park having a cuppa and a car pulled up and started taking fotos of him, he turned around and here was the emu about to drink his cuppa and that is what the people were shooting... Dave thought he was being stalked..
This is at Sandy Beach in the Nat Park and it was glorious.
This is looking up towards Yardie Creek in the Nat park.
We are standing on this very pebbly beach at one of the camps in the NP.
This is Pebble Beach in Exmouth and it sure has some pebbles.

Exmouth fishing expedition on Ningaloo reef
This is the little tinny we went fishing in. It cost 1/4million just for the boat and it flew. Our friend Greg owns this boat and what a great guy he was. He supplied everything and took us out twice. We saw everything from snapper to whales, sharks and turtles. It was an amazing day.
Billy shat himself when he felt how strong the snapper were, he needed Dave's help now and then.
This was one of my Robertson sea bream, it looked much bigger in real life, he just flipped as the shot was taken..REALLY it did. I actually had a huge snapper on and Dave videod me winding or should I say trying to wind it in. It took forever and then a great big tiger shark took it. BUGGER I said.
Now we are getting bigger....
And bigger...........
Cleaning time is always fun..yucky poo.

Exmouth Whalesharks
This is the motley crew that went on the Whaleshark dive, on the best day of the season so they said as they saw 9 whalesharks and whales and turtles and shark sharks. It was pretty incredible.
This is how close you get to them. They tell you to stay 3m away but these ones kept swimming towards Dave n Billy. Dave kept telling Billy he looked like krill.(meaney)
Humpback whales kept popping up beside the boat too.
These things are huge, up to 12m in length...the ones we saw were up to 6m, still bloody big.
