Western Australia - Post 2 of 5 - Cape Range

Leaving Karijini, we once again entered the vast emptiness of Western Australia.  The long, flat drive west was broken up by stops in the mining town of Tom Price and a roadhouse off Highway 1.  Cell phone towers were spotted on the hills outside of Tom Price, and for the first time in days we had service.   The coverage disappeared as soon as we got out of town though, and all we had left was red dirt and road trains on our way to Exmouth.  We arrived at our caravan park in Exmouth well before sunset, allowing plenty of time to have a dip in the pool.  We enjoyed a dinner at an actual restaurant that night, before taking part in another rarity, an air conditioned night of sleep.  I woke up early the next day  to shoot the sunrise, and was greeted by plenty of red kangaroos on the walk back.  We restocked our food before leaving Exmouth,  knowing that we weren't going to have another chance for a couple more days.  Those 2 days took us deep into Cape Range National Park, where we enjoyed snorkeling, bushwalking, great sunsets, and moonlight crab spotting on the beach.  I even had the opportunity to spend some time in a bird hide, and saw a white bellied sea eagle buzz a couple of pelicans and successfully pluck a  fish out of the water.  Be sure to view the gallery below to see all the wonderful creatures.
