Amazing trip to the National Park, danke CHRIS!
The days in Exmouth peninsular won't
be the same without him
After arriving the Exmouth
Peninsular, our trip was actually down the drain! With no cars, no public
transport access, long distance between spots and camp site, limited amount
of food...our trip was getting to the darkest time. God blessed us, a new
neighbour moved in and we got to know each other. An Aussie look-a-like guy from Germany - our hero Chris.
(haha i know you are reading this)
He has got such an easy
going personality, we talked and he agreed to us that we could follow him
with his 4WD to the Cape Range National Park the following day.
Our trip started at the end,
all the way back to the entrance. These photos below are in the right order.
You can figure out our path on the map.

The map of the Exmouth
Peninsular. The tip of it is where our camp site situate. The area in
green is the scope of The Cape Range National Park. It would be no way
to get there on our feet. |

I could see
the water had been dried out very much; there was track of water
existence right where the sand is in the picture. |
Beautiful. |
The trip to
visit all the beaches start! |

Only 4WDs
are allowed to access forward! It was no normal road - rocky, shaky,
feel like riding roller coaster! |
Osprey Bay. It doesn't offer much coral, but still a good place to swim
and chill out. |

Sandy Bay,
as what it is named after, it was really sandy! There ware no large
piece of rocks or coral stacks. Plainly just a very BEAUTIFUL swimming
pool offered by the mother nature! |
I couldn't
stand not to take some sand back home and keep it in a container. It was
the most beautiful beach i could enjoy swimming with nothing to worry
about! (i.e. breaking coral with swimming legs!) |
We
could actually walk to the sea 70 meters out. A very safe place to swim.
This guy was enjoying his speeding and air-twisting in Sandy Bay. |

Oyster Stack (the best to snorkel!) |

Oyster
stack have no oysters at all, but some old layers of stone ground.
Though, this is the best place to snorkel! For myself, i saw two sharks,
a school of 3 metres long fish with no less than a thousand of them
together, another school wth hundred of yellow tale fish...another for
the first time, soft coral in any possibly. colour. It was great. |
The most
dangerous bay in the national park. With a wide gap at the reef boundary
and strange current in different direction in the water, many people
were being dragged by the current to the outer reef and died throughout
the years. indeed, i was horrified with the strong current and chose to
stay at the shore. Although i saw a turtle cruising beside of me. |
The outer
sand dune is created by currents flow in different directions. After it,
i couldn't even hold my body with standing on the sand in the water. The
current was horrible as not experienced by myself before. |

Overall,
the scene was still good. |
The water
can be seen so clean and clear. |
