Reef to Desert

Once again we find ourselves in Western Australia's highest town, Tom Price, but this time we are continuing north east after visiting friends. We said our goodbyes to the turquoise waters of Coral Bay and have said hello to the red dirt of the Pilbara. The gentle rocking of the boat with the sound of water lapping on the hulls is now replaced by the stillness of the desert and early morning bird song.

After 5 1/2 months for Gary and 2 1/2 for me living and working on the Ningaloo Reef World Heritage Area, we are excited about our next adventure over on another reef. In the meantime, we'll enjoy the journey across the top of Oz to the east coast.
