There is just nothing up this way outside of the major towns except roadhouses.
Its quite amazing really as you can see for miles in every direction.
I managed to miss a herd of goats that were crossing the road up ahead but just as i got there another half dozen came running out of the bush in front of the bus so there was a bit of heavy breaking required to save the day.
When i arrived at Quobba it was jammed packed as it is a cheap camp $5 so very popular.I managed to find a place to park up and then headed to the beach which was fantastic,The water was a beautiful Green colour and very clear.
Quobba is famous for its blow holes but i thought they were a bit ho hum....
I spent a couple of days here as it was so nice.When i left i had the intention of going to quobba station for a couple of nights which was further up the road along a 8km dirt track but decided to give it a miss as it looked like rain and the road is unpassable when its wet so thought i may get stuck there and as i was booked in at Coral Bay in two days time i thought it best to keep going.
I ended up stopping for the night at a free camp south of Coral bay and in the middle of nowhere.
I won't stay in any of the free camps on my own so i was pleased to see there were already a couple of others there when i arrived and by night time there were about Ten of us so i felt very safe.
It was a beautiful night and everyone was sitting outside there was an amazing sunset which was bright red but i couldn't take any photos because my cameras batteries ran out.
There were some French backpackers staying there and they had a kite so kept us all entertained watching them fly it.
I am also surprised by how many International backpackers there are in these parts which is fantastic.
I have come across French, German ,Dutch and Swiss. Good for our tourist trade and economy.
