West Coast Day 123 - Ningaloo Reef

Member: ExplorOz - David & Michelle

West Coast Day 127 - Ningaloo Reef

West Coast Day 128 - Coral Bay

Member: ExplorOz - David & Michelle 

This morning we woke and agreed to move on. The wind has really taken its toll. It whips up the sand and makes it most uncomfortable to sunbake or to stand along the water's edge to fish....

West Coast Day 129 - Coral Bay

Member: ExplorOz - David & Michelle
