Cape Range National Park

Last night we ate the Bald Chin Groper Serge gave us. Russ BBQed him wrapped in foil and he was delicious. Half a fish was enough for us so we picked the other half off the bones and will make a fish pie tomorrow night. For all of you who worry we eat nothing but fish, tonight we are having chicken!

Today we went to the Cape Range National Park which runs along side the Ningaloo Reef. The Cape Ranges are low, rocky, weathered and very old. The gorges through the park have fossilized shells and coral so it was all part of the old sea bed.

It got pretty warm out there, so we wished we’d taken our flippers and snorkels because the reef looked so nice. Before we left this morning, we got some ice, cleaned out the fridge and freezer and put what we could in the esky. The sauces and veggies that wouldn’t fit had to come in our little battery operated car cooler with us to the national park!

Right now as I’m writing this, Russ is down fishing off the beach and I am sitting at the Lighthouse Lookout which is the only place I can come to check my phone and e-mails. I’m a b it sad, aren’t I?
