Ningaloo Reef

Using Bullara Station as a base we hit the highlights of Ningaloo Reef. This included a day on the water out of Coral Bay and a trip to Turquoise Bay where we both did another snorkel.


No doubt a beautiful area but the jury is out as to it's comparison to the Great Barrier Reef.

Bullara Station


Bullara Station is 250,000 acres of cattle station that has diversified into a camping/caravan host site of renown. Leonie will not forgive me if I fail to mention the morning teas with scones and cream. We also attended a "Long Table" dinner sampling the meat from the station.


A couple of days each week they do a free damper tasting
The Bottle Tree. Native to these parts.

Live entertainment most nights around the fire.

Ningaloo Reef


UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo’s most notable visitors are the whale sharks and Manta Rays. We missed the Whale Sharks but managed to see some Manta Rays.


The following video is of the day we spent on the reef. I managed to get in 2 dives and we both did a snorkel looking for Mantas.



 

Turquoise Bay


A small settlement near Exmouth that lies protected from the Indian ocean by the Ningaloo reef. White sands and great snorkeling just off the beach.






 

Next stop Southern Coral Coast - Thanks for watching
