Bullara station is probably the best station stay we’ve ever had as everything about it was A1. They are well known in the area for their meals, coffees and scones for morning tea and are set up with quirky rustic amenities and features. The sites are spacious and cater for all sorts of travellers - yet it doesn’t seem as if you’re on top of one another.
This turtle was made from a fishing net found off the coast - and had killed the poor turtle caught in it.
The children in the camp next door were fascinated by this goanna who was strolling along the track with not a care in the world!
We used this as our base to see Exmouth and Coral Bay. We found Exmouth to be a nice little place but quite further away from the swimming and snorkelling beaches than we thought. We enjoyed morning tea at the town beach and learned that if you add water, luscious palms and tropical plants can flourish. Outside the town, the scenery is barren and desert like. 
We were directed to a great swimming and snorkelling beach and for novice snorkelers, we did pretty well and had a wonderful time viewing the beautiful fish swimming amongst the coral reef.
The next day we travelled to Coral Bay which was very busy - it seems to be a paradise for the international back packers who don very skimpy bathing costumes! We decided to take a glass bottomed tour and are so glad we did as it was excellent and gave us such a good insight into the coral reef - the photos don’t show just how magnificent the coral is - or the fish we saw. It was like an underwater garden. 
So the Ningaloo Reef is all it’s supposed to be and we probably could have spent longer there - but we’ve got places to be and things to do! We’ve now set up at Onslow - and already we’ve seen the scenery change to the deep Pilbara red and witnessed mining in the form of salt, gas and iron ore. We are looking forward to exploring this area before moving further north. Until our next issue, we hope alls well with our readers. ❌❌❌❌ from the Brays & Greenwoods
