No Night Driving

I left Denham today (the 8th) and drove to Exmouth (about 700km). I planned an early departure, and managed it without too much trouble, and grabbed some petrol on the way out of town. It seems to get more and more expensive the more north you go.

There was a lot of road. I got tired of driving a couple of times, and pulled off into on of the many roadside stopping points (marked with a with P in a blue square) to take a nap and catch a bite to eat. One of them had cool looking clouds. At the second one, I though my battery had gone dead, but it turned out I was trying to start the engine in D (I'm glad I didn't ask the guys stopped behind me for a jump!), man I felt stupid. I made a stop in Coral Bay for a very belated lunch, and to check out the town. The beach was beautiful, and the town was tiny. It was a little bit cloudy, and the clouds looked really picturesque (yes, I took pictures). After my lunch (at about 3 PM), I left Coral Bay, and made it to Exmouth straight away. One notable thing about the last portion of the drive is that there are termite mounds all over the fields near the road, hundreds of them.

My SCUBA course starts tomorrow and I'm psyched.
