We were up at the usual time and on the road heading the last 180Km to Exmouth after a free stop at a roadside camp overnight. The numbers of people camped is thinning at these free spots now. The two hugely obese couple we see at every free roadside stop were camped right on top of the toilet as they do presumably to minimise the walking distance? We have only seen them in free sites in their 5th wheeler ‘mothership’ and always right next to the toilet. Must be a boring trip?

The drive into Exmouth was interesting as you drive out onto a peninsular and you don’t see the water till almost on top of Exmouth. We headed to the visitors centre and got some local info then booked into the BIG-4 here and took the camper off the truck in 45 minutes and had it setup. The people camped rite next to us are from Port Sorrel! We went shopping for food and got some nice spinach rolls for lunch. back at camp we walked over to the dive shop to enquire about dives and get myself a pair of slip on fins for some snorkelling. Then across to the visitors centre to book a sea Kayak tour for tomorrow, won’t give to much away on this one as it will be the subject of tomorrows blog.

The woman who served us at the visitors centre lived in Tassie and road with the riding group Sharon rides with before she moved up here. She lived in Denison road for a while. She could not stop talking about Tassie, mountain biking and people we knew back home. She was also a rower so she knew Barry Townsend as well. Kirsty Fleming was her name and she must be some elite person as she talked about some big mountain bike race she won last year and the TIS. We will Google her later and find out.

We are both brown as well as the car. The car is red really. I have a photo of my brown arms and legs against my white foot and the dusty car as that’s all we have today.
