Hi once again from the West,
I must say it has been a while, and we are now well and truly past the the half way mark, the last time I blogged we were leaving for Quobba blow hole, we are in Broome now.
QUOBBA.

Quabba Camp here for six days, fishing, swimming and snorkeling the weather was great, caught a few fish but only one worth eating and Bianka enjoyed it.
 |
| The reef with very friendly fish inspecting Bianka's painted toe nails |
 |
| Snorkeling on the reef at Quobba |
From here we also visited the Cairn where the German sailors came ashore at Quobba Station

 |
| Speaks for itself. |
Monkey Mia was to be next but the nightly cost was $50 and they charged 1.5 percent extra for using a card we decided not to, we than had to contend with no show charges it is a long story, so I wont bore you with it well after a lot of hargy barguing they retracted the charge, so beware if you book somewhere they are quick to take your money, anyway we bypassed Monkey Mia.
CORAL BAY.

at Ningalou Reef,again a disappointment, for the second time the wind set in and did not give us a chance to go snorkeling, same happened in 2009 could not extend our stay, you now have to book and it was all booked out.

a great place to visit and lots to see but the colored Jasper rock is something else
