Wow!!! Coral Bay

We hit the road at 9am this was our view.

2 hours later, umm looks the same!!!

After 6 hours we crossed this.

After 7 hours of the same, long, boring, straight road, seeing only a handful of cars we final arrived at Coral Bay, Wow!!


This place is absolutely stunning, the most beautiful place we have been so far. Check out the water! There is only one thing to do here and that is hit the beach!




This place is part of the Ningaloo Reef and the snorkelling is out of this world. You only have to take a few steps into the ocean to see an abundant of marine life. You can walk just around the bay to a nursery of white tip sharks, amazing. We had been toying with the idea to get our PADI license but as if anybody knows me I swim like Cowhead, which is badly! So I was a little apprehensive so we decided to book a discover scuba diving course to test the water.


It was a fabulous day we dived to 8.5 meters and I didn’t drown, I was so pleased. We got up close and personal with lots of beautiful fish and even some reef sharks, scary or what! However look at this. Is Mike trying out for a part in Star Trek, Ha! Ha!

Greeting friends. You have hit the jack pot with this stop looks stunning. Me and Ange spent the weekend at Bovey Castle, thought i would treat her with a late Valintines present, would definatley recommend it for a few nights, 100% relaxation. Congratulations to Spurs on winning the Mikey mouse cup and breaking there 9 year wait. One word of advise if you are considering doing the PADI course whilst in OZ ask about the M.U.R.P.H.E.Y course works out alot cheaper. Keep living the dream. love Leeroy And Ange. XXXX
