3500 km in 7 days

Wow what a tour! The west coast is definitly different then the east coast as my brother already told me :) There is not so munch tourism, so you have amazing beaches and spots for you own :D The group was really good, some only on short vacation, others on a long travel as I and Mutti our 60 years old German woman. It was and good mix of young and old ;)

We drove in 7 days approximately 3500km this was a lot! I'm really happy to survived it ;PP

Day 1:
First stop of our journey were the Pinnacles. They are rocks who standing around. It exist two different theories, how they build both are plausible. It looks really nice and special, because it looks like someone placed them there.

The two theories how the Pinnacles were build.

Because of this picture I go for the first one

Pinnacles, white sand and oceann

For lunch we stopped at Hangover Bay a really quite an relaxed bay, except of the wind ;)

Last attraction was the leaning tree. Actually there is more the one, but this one is one of the nicest. They look how they look because of the constant wind from the Sam direction.

We slept on a horse range in Kalberri.

Day 2:
Next day we went to the Kalberri National Park. I did abseiling, was a lot of fun :D

The landscape was build by the river over thousands of years, amazing ;)

We got down here :D

The marks are form big scorpions millions of years ago

Cliff hanging

After these experiences we continued to shark Bay, it is a world heritage. It is stunning, in one Bay so many nice and unique places! We went first to Hamlin Pool, where Stromatolites are growing. Stromatolites are the oldest organisms on the earth, they have build the atmosphere we live in now.

Last stop was Monkey Mia. Wild dolphins get there food every day 2 or 3 times. This is only 10% of there day food, because they should still act in the natural behavior.

We stayed in a Resort at Monkey Mia over night.

Day 3:
We get up at 5 to see the sunrise. It was definitely worth it!!! The sunrise wasn't so special, but when we are waiting dolphins come along. So special only a few people and dolphins ;D Our personal dolphin time ;) They come really close, awesome!

Of course we also went to the official dolphin feeding, so crowded!

On our drive to Coral Bay we stopped at several nice spots at Shark Bay.

Sharks at eagle bluff :D

Sometimes we had to drive these dirty roads

Me a lone in the ocean ;)

We got hit by a truck train :P

We arrived in the dark at Coral Bay, so nothing special happened.

Day 4:
At Coral Bay we got on a Eco Tour to snorkel with Manta Rays, they can grow up to 4 meters. This was an awesome and amazing tour definitely worth the extra money. Now lean back and enjoy the pictures and videos from the 3 snorkels :)
Enjoy the pictures and hopefully you see everything ;)

It was sometimes really shallow

After this remarkable Boat trip we drove up to Exmouth. We stayed there for two nights.

Day 5:
We get to two snorkeling sides, one was so close we walked into the water and there was the reef, amazing!

We drove to the Lighthouse nearby for sunset, WOW!

Day 6:
After these 5 incredible days four left the group to fly back to Perth, because if different reasons. This day was one of the toughest days. We drove over 850km.
After this long drive we got to Kalberri again and saw our last sunset.

Day 7:
Finally we drove back to Perth and stopped at some nice places and also had some fun by sandboarding ;D

Pink lake ;)

Wildlife park

Short video compilation form all the snorkel trips we did:

After this awesome experience, unique spots and people, I'm back in Perth and it is definitly time to relax and get prepared to leave Australia to New Zealand. Before leaving I'm going to fly to Sydney for a couple of days. I hopefully can catch up with some friends I made due my trip and celebrate a great Australia Day at the 26.1. before I'm leaving at the next day. ;)
