Mile Jetty and Rocky Pool



This morning we went to the growers market and stocked up on more fresh fruit, veg and herbs. Then we took a walk down and back along the Mile Jetty where we saw heaps of huge schools of tiny fish being chased by bigger fish.

After lunch we took a drive about 55ks out to Rocky Pool on the Gascoyne River. It’s very beautiful and very popular with free campers and day trippers (like us). We travelled through a few stations (large ranches for those of you not from Aus), so there were cattle and sheep wandering across the road as we went.


Tonight Russ made some of our crab meat (caught in Denham) and prawns (we bought them here) into his best crab cakes yet.

Tomorrow we head further North either to Coral Bay or Exmouth. Coral Bay is on the Ningaloo Reef and supposed to be very beautiful, but there is only one caravan park, so we may not get in. Exmouth is larger with many more parks, and supposedly good fishing, so we expect more chances of getting a site there!
