Our trip to Ningaloo part 2

After a quick stop in Kalbarri National Park, we hit the open road and drive... and drive... and drive... yup, still driving. We stop at the Overlander roadhouse for sausage rolls and coffee and then it's back on the road. Like i said, it's a long way and not a whole lot to see.

We arrive in the Cape Range National Park after dark. It's pitch black (we are totally in the middle of nowhere - the last town Exmouth is about 70 km back).

We realise our campsite is not marked on the map. We're driving about 30 km/h because there are sooooo many kangaroos. I see a snake in the road. Did i mention how dark it was? We eventually reach our campsite. I have to psych myself up to get out the car. It's pitch black and I'm imagining all kinds of animals, reptiles, bugs etc that are waiting to get me. Once again i'm on inflatable mattress duty (if there was a girl guide badge for blowing up mattresses, i would have aced that one). Tents up, we cook up fajitas (yum!) on our gas stove and marvel over the stars in the sky (I've never seen anything like it. absolutely amazing) and then we see a light on the horizon around 9.30pm in land which gets brighter and it's the moon rising! I didn't even try to take photos but so cool, and i've totally forgotten about the bugs and snakes and killer roos.
