3/7/20 Fly Ningaloo

       Been a while to get this blog done , lack of service and being a bit busy will do that . Anyway here's the goss , we went for a joy flight from Exmouth over to Cape Range and down to Yardie Creek , then back up the peninsular to NW Cape and back down to the airport .

  Here's our Ningaloo Aviation Cessna for our hour long flight .

                              

 

     The canyons of Charles Knife Road showed off their colours .

      This is the very popular Oyster Stacks snorkelling site .

      The views down the reef to the south .

      We got lucky with a whale breaching , here's the sequence of the breach in the next 3 photo's .

      That was a bit exciting , then we were back to the views of the reef & coast .

      Here's the view from the plane go pro camera - they do photos for you - we got 84 photos from them all like this - one or two with the plane would have been fine but 84 !!

                                        

 

     This is part of Yardie Creek Gorge 

      Here is the wreck of SS Mildura - a cattle steamer that ran aground on a reef not very far away and was blown here in a storm .

      This is the ultra low frequency radio towers used for submarine communications - we were flying at 1,000 ft and the towers were still above us !

      This is the marina development and some of the canal homes .

     And with that our flight was done and we landed just over the hour from when we took off . 

 We did the flight with Sue , whom we met at Bonneys - Dave & Sue came out to Yardie Homestead CP while we were there and we had a few days with them . 

     Our stay at Yardie Homestead was soon over and we had 3 nights in town getting our washing done and things charged up again , before heading off again because Exmouth was booked out for the school holidays .
