Exmouth

Day 2 in Exmouth was more just an explore around. We first drove out to the lighthouse, at the very tip of the peninsula, then a short way down the west side, the views from the lighthouse were spectacular, especially what we could see of the westside.


We then drove past a turtle sanctuary where you can sit on the beach at night and watch the turtles doing what turtles do, unfortunately we never got round to doing this as fishing took up our nights, but more about that later.

Then we passed a clothing optional beach, a polite way of saying nudist beach, unfortunately we never got round to visiting that beach either I have no idea why we missed that one?

Then it was back into town for a game of mini golf and a look around the new marina that is being constructed, very flash with lots of canals coming in towards town, wouldn't mind getting our hands on a nice piece of dirt there, and building a nice beach house and park the boat in the canal, ohh dreams are free.


Janaya and Mango the emu go for a bit of a stroll


We spent the afternoon at in the pool and I managed to capture a video of Janaya swimming. She has amazed us as she has taught herself to swim out of sheer determination to be like the big kids, in the video where she is swimming is over Seans head and by the next day she was swimming the width of the pool, without taking a breath. I am going to enrol her in swimming lessons next term if I can get a spot.



Then It was off to the town beach for a barbie and a spot of fishing. It was my turn to cook the barbie while Sean and the kids cast a line out for a look. After a bite to eat it was off down the beach for some serious fishing, I had set up the back of the truck with a mattress and my laptop so the kids could watch a dvd or two while we fished.






Lines in and as usual I get the first bite, and a big one at that, finally I get to shore a baby shark, we hummed and ahhed about keeping it to try in the fish fry but decided against it and let it go, 5 Mins later Tayden was struggling with his line, so I helped him reel in Shark number two, Then it was my turn again and yep you guessed it another shark. We sat there happily till 11pm (and 3 bottles of wine) while the kids slept in the truck, we caught a few more sharks and lost a bit of gear but was a really fun night.
