Ningaloo Station

Today we departed Exmouth bound for Ningaloo Station which comes highly rated in terms of beauty and seclusion.

We can tell you this is one of the best, if not the best location we have been so far. It helps to have been brought up camping on beaches, so sand and ocean seems right and normal, but we are literally in heaven where we are.

Crystal clear turquoise waters surround us, which are 10 strides from the camp at high tide. A little wind but we don't have powerful waves crashing in given 150m out is the Ningaloo Reef - just small swell great for the boys to swim, and relatively shallow.

No power, no amenities, a few campers but not over the top and not in eye or earshot.

We once again snagged the best spot because we got here early, right on the Winderabandi Point - literally, so campers along the stretch to the point can't see us & more to the point, we can't see them.  We put the awning up and floor, plus side walls so a longer setup, but worth it. For $90 for 4 nights, this place can't be missed if you have the right rig and can be self sufficient.

Simply stunning.

I fished this morning and picked up a nice flathead & dart, the boys swam, played in the dunes, built mine sites & helped me fish. Mum got to go for a walk and had a fish too, plus spent some time in the sun with her book.

This afternoon I went for a run, the boys & I started the fire, we had porterhouse steak and veges for tea ......... and Tim Tams for desert.

I don't think it gets any better and we have another 3 nights here......

If I could complain about something, there is no shade or shelter at this point, so if it blew we would know about it. There are other areas to camp (the station is massive) so there could be better sheltered areas. There are also these little lady beetle type bugs that come out at night attracted to the lights that like us but otherwise this is spectacular.

Jase....
