May 12–May 16 Cape Range National Park/ Ningaloo Reef

What can I say…you just can’t beat a swim with a 7 metre whale shark to give you that sense of natural wonder. Not only did we swim with whale sharks but we snorkelled on the Ningaloo reef which was just a short swim from the pristine white beaches of the Cape Range National Park where we had set up camp for 4 days.
Each day we spent snorkelling, sand castle building (Sophie and Sammy are now experts at drip castle building), playing games in the nearby sandunes and swimming. I am constantly amazed at how well the children find things to do, play and build with whatever they find around the campsite. Nick, Tom and Fred spend ages building a teepee with driftwood that they had gathered from the beach and sandunes.
Fred, Lara and Emily enjoyed playing camp chefs making pikelets for afternoon tea.
We have loved the Ningaloo with water so full of wild life and coral that with every snorkel there is something new to see. We are sorry to leave the beaches but are looking forward to heading inland to see the gorges of Karijini.
