Along the Coast Access Road

After a couple of fairly successful days fishing, we decided to take a break and go for a drive along the Coast Access Road which starts about 5 ks out of town. Our neighbours Todd and Melissa and two boys did some of it yesterday and recommended it to us.

We left around 10.30am and got home right on 4pm. It was 80ks of sand and 50 sealed. The sand had a good firm base, but was very, very corragated. Letting our tyres down made it pretty comfortable though.

We travelled through Cardabia Station (no stock) to Brudbooodjoo Point-it's a pretty popular camping spot and we counted 25 vans and tents. The fishing looked like it would be better than here (less fisherpeople), but we aren't set up to camp like that. It seems a bit late in our travels to be investing in generators, shower tents, satelite dishes etc. and the thought of how much water they need to carry puts me off too. I guess I like the soft option.



After leaving there, we pulled in to a very pretty spot in the sand dunes over looking the reef for some lunch. We stopped a lot actually for some beautiful views. It was really a worthwile drive.



We saw a few sheep on Ningaloo Station (and heaps of emus and kangaroos) but nothing as we went through Bullara Station. They probably de stocked in tougher times and can't afford to re stock now when there seems to be plenty of grass around.
