Day 22 – Carnarvon to Exmouth – 515 km – 9049 km Total.

Well not much to report on the trip to Exmouth apart from the vegetation gets a bit thinner as you go north.  Had a quick look a Coral Bay on the way in. Two caravan parks, a resort, some shops and a beach, nothing to see here so continue to Exmouth.

Got to Exmouth at lunch and pitched the tent and headed for the Tourist Info.  This place is very much focused on snorkelling and diving so not a lot for me except for the VLF site built by the US Navy during the cold war.  Approx ten guyed towers all over 300 m high spread over a huge area.  Kenneth hid in the Top Box for some reason when the Federal Police car went past while I was taking photos.  Must be a chinese thing.

Had a look at some other things, tried to have a look a river gorge in the national park but they were grading the road so 15 km of loose gravel and rocks was not going to be attempted.  Thought about staying and doing a reef trip but a bit on the pricey side and more focussed on snorkelling.

Off to Tom Price in the morning,  not much navigation.  Turn left, turn left, turn right and thats in approx 650 km, things are a long way apart up here.  300 km between the roadhouses as well which probably be the only buildings along the way.
