We managed to get a caravan site right at the back of the nicer of the 2 parks in Coral Bay. Even though the park is always full being at the back was very peaceful. This park has fresh water in the showers (as opposed to salty bore water), and lovely green lawns that are permanently being watered by the warm, artesian well water. It only took us about 5 minutes to walk down to the bay and fall into the warmest water where we would go swimming and snorkeling every day. It really is a paradise as the only thing you can do there is relax. We didn't move our car for 7 days!!
We met a great couple, Jim and Jeanette, who are volunteer workers for the Dept of Env and Cons. They are absolutely amazing for their ages - 70 and 75! They live permanently in their 5th wheeler. It was great going for a coffee with Jeanette at the only coffee shop while Chris repaired all of Jim's computer. We also shared a great roast meal together which I cooked in my tiny oven that I store under our bed and only bring out when I feel the urge to bake!!
We love Coral Bay though we met a couple in Exmouth that found it too boring. Oh dear. We didn't!
