are truly uber immense. Yes we researched the mileage and heard it from others but until you actually want to get from A to B do you then realize the enormity of the place.
We booked into Coral Bay back packers and headed straight to the beach and the Ningaloo reef armed with a couple of snorkel sets. Ahhhhh the reef the reef the reef. Then there's the fish, the coral, the crystal clear sea, the white sandy beach that just runs on and on. That 2000 km drive was well worth it.The Ningaloo Reef is 260 km long and closed to commercial fishing. The reef starts within 100 metres of the beach so no need for excess fin work here. Which is good as Dave is shocking at it! The water is so
clear which makes visibility of the reef perfect. It s also not too deep which aid visibility but makes you worry about damaging it with your fins. Sadly global warming is killing coral and in 50 years it could all be dead, not good specially as coral is the very start of the food chain in the ocean.
Fish spotted today:
Yellow tail emperor, China manfish, Stripey seaperch, Spanish mackerel.
