Coral Bay-Tom Price

Hey everyone. In Coral Bay we did so many amazing things that it's unbelievable. We went snorkeling with our new friends David, Luke and Ben (from TAS) and saw loads of colourful coral and incredible fish. After our snorkel we went stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking and trust me it took a lot of getting used to. We came back from the beach and sang happy birthday to my 6 year old little brother.

We also had a swim with some whale sharks. It was one of the best experiences of life. First we met the nicest crew in the world, Alaina, Jim, Macca, Steve and Hayley. They made the bumpy trip fun. After we got on the boat we travelled out a few 100m and stopped for a snorkel [absolutely amazing]! Then we found a whale shark. The chase was on. It was a rush to get ready but once you were in the water suddenly everything slowed down. The sharks were about the size of a small bus. Then we got on, got off, got on, got off, etc. After we left the whale shark for the last time we had a delicious sandwich lunch on the boat. Then we went for another snorkel and saw a turtle and a stingray. I will never forget that day.

The day before, Callam and dad went fishing and caught 4 yummy fish. Although we are still trying to get through it now. Fish for dinner every night but it taste so yummy I didn't mind.

In Tom Price it was much cooler then I expected. We went down to the gorges in the Karigini National Park. The gorges were majestic. It really blew my mind. I had never seen anything like it before. The view down into the gorge showed red and black cliffs and rock faces. There was green growth of plants like ferns and moss around the swimming holes. Circular pool was perfect. Words can't describe it. It was like seeing a photo on a plastic water bottle but real. When we had a swim the water was cold but refreshing after that long walk to get down there. It was the most gorgeous sight I had ever seen.

The very next day we went on a Rio Tinto Mine tour around the mine sight. There was red dust everywhere. At Rio Tinto they mine iron ore which is a pretty grayish silverish stone. They also used very BIG trucks. They beeped us as they drove past. We had to wear a hard hat and safety goggles which looked a bit silly. Not my best look!

Now where in Broome. Wait till you read my next post camels, markets and even outdoor cinemas!
