Week Six Day Thirty Six

Week six already, wow how time flys when you are having fun. Well today started without incident but not long into our trip north, we were hit by a stone, kicked up by a truck. Yes, you guessed it, a cracked windscreen. Hey ho, we have traveled about 10 000 kms so far. The road trains we are passing at the moment are huge, they are dragging three trailers behind the cab, so I suppose it could have been worse.

Well we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn, obviously this presented a photo opportunity. I must say it is great because last Easter we crossed it in Rockhampton on our way to the Whitsundays. So I suppose it is something to do, on both sides of Australia.

Guess were we are?

We also came across huge ant hills. They littered the side of the road not that far from the turnoff to Coral Bay. We nicknamed the area "Ant Alley". They did make for an impressive sight, and photo. We were dwarfed by this one.

One of many ant hills.

Anyway we are here in Coral Bay, Ningaloo reef right on the beach. When we arrived we went and waded in the water and saw huge snapper swimming around our ankles. So cannot wait for tomorrow. We have booked a tour for tomorrow, so there will be lots to tell.

Hope's blog.......... When I was at the ant hill, I found the back bone of an animal. We couldn't tell what is was. It was very interesting to look at it and feel it. Shame we saw a lot of dead animals on the side of the road. We had to go slow twice because goats and later on emus crossed the road in front of us.
