We put in a long day on the way to Exmouth and pulled over at a free camp just north of the Exmouth turnoff from the Northwest Coastal Hwy. A dusty place by a dry river. We's just pulled up and some dutch people we'd met pulled up alongside.... they just wouldn't stop talking. It wasn't a late night but we covered a lot of ground...!!!
Exmouth was quiet. They were expecting the school holiday rush but it just never happened. It's a nice sleepy little place with plenty of new infrastructure but I don't think I'd assume Exmouth to be a destination. It's more a place you might stop, stock up and move on. Nearly everything happens on the Western side of the peninsula where we were headed.
We did find this marvellous little beach about 14km's north. We were the only people on it and saw lots of fish, a couple of turtles, a whale breeching and a shark or two. The coral beach was hard to walk on, but the water was clear as crystal...... and Rose fiiiiiinnnnaly got her Emu picture.
