The drive from Coral Bay to Monkey Mia was the longest of the trip so far.. pretty much took all day, with little to see on the way except the odd Emu, so I jumped at the 1st chance to stop at a beach for a bit.
Shelly Beach is well named, the beach is completely made up of little white shells. I stopped here by the crystal clear water for a short break before getting to Monkey Mia just before sunset. More..
Compared to the last two days, the drive from Carnarvon to Coral Bay did not take all day, infact less than 3 hours. I could tell as soon as I arrived at the beach that Coral Bay was one of those special places you only come across now and then… unfortunately though it was raining which meant no pictures and no snorkelling. I checked into the backpackers a caught up on some sleep before going for a walk along the beach to Mauds Landing where I took this picture and below timelapse video..
Spent the night in Carnavon, WA. The town is on a narrow waterway created by a couple of close offshore islands. Babbage Island meets the Indian Ocean proper around 2km’s from the town centre and as the waterway between the island and the town is too shallow for ships, a one mile long jetty was built out to sea, connected to the town by a railway line.
Horrocks Beach is 50kms north of Geraldton, WA. After spending the night at Tarcoola Beach in Geraldton I got up early and drove up to Horrocks to check out the surf. There were some waves breaking on the reef out the back, but nothing special. I had breakfast at the cafe overlooking the beach, took these pictures and headed north to my next stop Carnavon.
A cold southerly started blowing through Perth, so I decided not to spend anymore time in the area. I had planned to drive up the coast to Lancelin and maybe get a surf in, but it was too cold so I bypassed. I’ll check this part out on the way back next Saturday.. theres a town called Seabird that i dont wanna miss.
So I drove north for 200kms or so before hitting the coast again at Jurien Bay. Took the above picture and 2 more inside….More

Drove onto Fleet Street breakwall, part of the harbour system at Freemantle. Planned to just have a quick look, but some strange weather hit.. rainbows, sunshowers etc… so I stayed until sunset taking these three pictures and video.
The video below is worth checking out. The rainbow above vanished when the sun was obscured by clouds, but I could tell it would pass through them so set up my EPL-1 to take a timelapse movie. I captured the rainbow reappearing, followed by the sunshower that hit… After the video are two more photos including the lighthouse.. More

After picking up rental board I went to check out the surf, but as I wanted to end up at Fremantle for dinner I went south, where I found the surf blocked off by Rottnest and Garden islands, which are just offshore. Below pic is looking south from City Beach.. More
