Carnarvon, Kennedy Ranges & Coral Bay

4th till 10th April 2013


Leaving Shark Bay, we headed further north to Carnarvon. It was a hot day (as most of them now are) with temperatures being 35-40c during the day and 26-28c during the nights with a high humidity, so we were glad to jump into the pool at the campground. We were surprised to see how green Carnarvon is - it grows a lot of WA's fruit and veg; reminded us of an oasis in a desert!
We headed approx. 230km inland to the Kennedy Ranges to explore the ranges with it's beautiful gorges. It was a hot afternoon, 38c when we turned off the car engine at 5pm, so we decided only to do short walks and leave the rest till sunrise when we walked into Temple Gorge. Once the sun had set, we enjoyed looking up in the sky - millions of stars where shining above us!
We drove back over Carnarvon to head to Coral Bay. There we were able to snorkel off the beach, and managed to see many beautiful fish and corals and a stingray, and Silvan spotted a black tip reef shark.
