With only a single day to spend in Cape Range National Park we were a bit flustered about what to do. After being woken up by the noisy pack of galahs in the next campsite we had a walk along the beach after breakfast, this turned into an impromptu dip … until Blake discovered the dinner plate sized crabs lurking nearby. Back at the van I proposed an itinerary that garnered only a few murmurs, so off we went.

We sadly left Coral Bay this morning. It’s a very cool place, we could’ve easily spent a lot more time here. There’s plenty more to explore via 4wd.
Only a short day today, 170km to Exmouth and then about 40 or so more around the cape to our campsite.
The only stop we had was to get a little bit of groceries at Exmouth. A little bit of groceries took about an hour though. Exmouth was so incredibly busy and I can’t begin to explain it. There was a queue at the bus stop about 200m long with people waiting to go ‘somewhere’. It was a bit bizarre seeing all these people queued up … we’re just not used to crowds of more than 20 people anymore I guess.
We headed around the cape and saw the submarine comms array. It’s a bit hard to miss it.
