It was mostly just a travel day today as we drove north to Coral Bay. The highway shows signs of much heavy rain over the past days, though how long ago we are not sure. The edge of the road has been washed out, and although the washouts are repaired, the edge of the road hasn’t always been repaved. At least two service stations in Carnarvon are closed because of the flooding. We were going to pull in to one, but the road to it was washed out, and when we looked more closely we could see that what looked like vehicles at the pumps were service vehicles presumably carrying out repairs.
Our motorhome is parked in People’s Caravan Park in Coral Bay, just about 100 metres from the beach which is just across the road. We walked to the ocean and went snorkelling after we arrived here this afternoon. For some reason my underwater camera will not turn on consistently, and would not do so today when we went to go, so I didn’t get any pictures. Although there is a lot of coral and fish out there, it wasn’t always very clear as the water is very turbid. It may be because of all the rain, but we will try again tomorrow at a different time and tide to see if things improve.
