14. 05.2012, Karinjini NP - Beasley River (free camp site)
We climbed down to the Dales Gorge. It was beautiful to walk to Circular-Pool and then another 2 km to Fortress-Pool.
The geology has left a very fascinating picture here, too. The walk itself wasn't that easy and the small climbing sessions were very
enjoyable.
Once again we arrived at the camp site just before sunset and put up our tent immediately.
We were invited over for a drink by some campers, that had already been there and we very appreciated this offer. We even were invited for dinner by a very nice couple.

We were also invited to breakfast by Anton and Cherrie and we had a cooked breakfast. This means bacon, eggs, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms and toast. It was fabulous to have something very different to muesli for breakfast.
We drove to Exmouth (about 470km) that day.
16.05.2012 Exmouth
We rented out some equipment for snorkelling in the ocean. We drove to the National Park. Our destination was Tourquise Bay, 63 km out of Exmouth. Both of us were in the water four times and snorkelled intensely. This coral reef is beautiful. Many small and big fish in all different colours could bee seen.
Each of us saw a reef shark whilst snorkelling.
17.05.2012, Exmouth – Carnarvon
After breakfast we made a motorcycle check up. The chain, the battery, the air filters were checked and greased / filled up.
Our first aim was to get to Coral Bay which is about 160 km from Exmouth. The bay ( Coral Bay ) itself is very nice but full of tourists though.
We continued until Carnarvan. This is one of the oldest towns in WA. Went on a short drive to the harbour and back to the centre of the town.
18.05.2012 Carnavon – Monkey Mia
We had a good night sleep. It is very comfortable to sleep at normal temperatures, about 15-20 ° C by night and to only have around 20-25 ° C during the day. Feel a lot more comfortable in these degrees of latitude.
Drove further South and had our first longer stop in Denham. Denham is a place where now and then ships stranded at in the past. Today Denham is a pure tourist town.
The journey itself was in respect of landscape, relatively boring once again. Except when you were close to the sea and left or right you could see the blue colour of the water.
Arrived in Monkey Mia in the early afternoon. The sunset at the Indian ocean is very beautiful.
