Coral Bay

Without enough volunteer moderators like me, moderation of the Perth Forum and The Perth Calendar has been held up for a couple of weeks while I enjoyed a great, well diserved two week holiday at Coral Bay with my 11yo son. We went camping, fishing, I taught him how to drive, snorkelling in the coral filled lagoon. All this in warm shorts and t-shirt weather while Perth froze in winter.
On the drive back to Perth we saw the first blooms of Western Australian wildflowers in late July. Wildflower season starts in north western Australia and then over the next few months moves down towards Wave Rock.
We also saw historical things such as the German life boat from the WWII raider "Kormoran" near the Carnarvon Jetty....
.... and the memorial to the HMAS Sydney II it sunk
More of our trip from Perth Photos.
This new research vessel will be chartered by German marine biologists to study the Ningaloo Reef in 2008.
