Offgridmonkeys have continued their travels up the Coral Coast stopping at Quobba Station and staying at Red Bluff which is a surfing mecca with a mean left break.
First stop was the blowholes on the way to Quobba Station where water spouts are pushed at pressure through the rocks creating geysers up to 30m high.
The waves certainly didn’t disappoint, neither did the wildlife. We had an amazing dog friendly campsite right on the top of the cliffs with constant sightings of whales, dolphins and manta rays. We literally could not look at the ocean without spotting performing migrating whales breaching, blowing and frolicking in the waves.
Pizza night on Saturdays was also a hit with most of the campers converging on the outdoor seating at the site shop to socialise and swap stories with other campers. The waves were up to 5 meters high during out week stay so there were plenty of tales to be told from intrepid surfers.
We also visited Gnaraloo station for the day and Gnaraloo Bay is stunning without a sole in site and definitely worth a visit. The snorkelling is also good.
We then moved on to Denham and Shark Bay. Again very dog friendly and Buster even got to spend a day in doggy day care which can be arranged through the discovery centre while we went into Francois Peron National Park. Once again the dramatic colours of the scenery and wildlife spotting from the cliffs did not disappoint. The drive in is 4WD and fairly soft sand so be prepared, but good old Silver Foxy performed admirably once again (the park provides free compressors so you can let your tyres down and reinflate them with ease). Even better is that at the end of the day at the park gates there is an artesian hot pool to soak weary bones which we enjoyed thoroughly!!
Offgridmonkeys HAD to of course also visit MONKEY Mia. Once again we struck it lucky with the dolphins in the bay when we arrived. Check out the video for the eyeballing from a bottle nose dolphin.
We also stopped in at the Hamelin Pool to see the stromatolites which are actually the earliest fossil evidence of life on earth. When you think that really they are whole communities of bacteria growing together over millions of years it blows these monkeys minds!!
Now we are hitting the road for more Ningaloo action at Warroora Station and Coral Bay, so see you all soon x
