Well, we leave Exmouth at 5am in the morning and have no coverage for 3
nights, so this will be the last blog entry till we get back to civilisation.
One of the most amazing days ever!! Luke has talked about the whale sharks for
years at Exmouth. We got to swim with
them. Most are about 8 to 10 metres long
and swim slowly around the bay near Exmouth.
We got on a boat and headed out for what we thought would be a 20 minute
snorkel with a whale shark. Left at 8am
and got back at 4 and swam with about 8 whale sharks. Got so close we could have touched them. In between we snorkelled on the reefs
protecting the Exmouth beach. The most
colourful fish, octopus, sting rays and every other sort of marine animal all
crowded into such a small space. All you
need to do is rest on the top of the water and a couple of metres down the sea
and the ocean floor comes alive with thousands of animals. What a day!!!
We have a million photos, I haven't got time to load them all tonight...check back in a few days for some really sensational, up close and personal photos with the whale sharks.
