21 October - One Mile Jetty, Fascine and School Day

21 October 2016 – 192 322
One Mile Jetty, Fascine and School Day


This morning we had a school morning, and Hayden had a PM benchmark reading test via Facetime.  After lunch we went to One Mile Jetty with the plan of exploring the lighthouse keeper’s museum, railway museum and fishing from the jetty.

The lighthouse keeper’s museum was closed and looked quite disappointing from what we could see, the railway museum was not impressive and the jetty was very run down.  Overall, disappointing; although the coastline is very pretty.  Next we headed to the aboriginal cultural centre, but it appears to have closed.  We drove along the Fascine to see where the trawlers come in, and then took Hayden to the playground again.  He now has blisters on his hands from using the flying fox so much.

17 October - Coral Bay and on to Carnarvon

Coral Bay and on to Carnarvon


This morning we went for a snorkel in Coral Bay again.  Once again we saw amazing fish including varieties we have not seen before.  The water was freezing – we only lasted 12 minutes before we both got out, teeth chattering and shivering – but it was still worth it.  After hot showers and packing up the van, we went for a walk along the beach.  We enjoyed sitting and watching the ocean, while Hayden played in the sand and built a moat.

After a picnic lunch, we drove to Carnarvon and went to the Visitor Information Centre – we have booked into Coral Coast Caravan Park.
