Day 17-20 - Coral Bay

At last in Coral Bay some proper warm weather - 26-28 degrees every day, but the water was still a little chilly!

We hired a kayak on the beach and went snorkelling in the bay. The coral was only a short swim from the shore. There were lots of different coloured fish around the coral. There are no whale sharks in Coral Bay at the moment as they migrate south in July.

Henry: Dad and I played 20/20 cricket on the beach. Dad marked out the boundary and we each got 20 balls to make as many runs as we could. Automatic wicky and 3 outs per innings. This is a picture of me hitting a six. I beat Dad in this game. I made 73 and Dad was all out for 67.

We went on a sunset quad bike tour one afternoon. We went really fast on tracks through the sand dunes and up and down some steep hills. We stopped on top of one dune and could see all the humpback whales out in the distance over the other side of the reef. We also stopped on the beach to watch the sunset. The quad bikes were Will's favourite part of the trip so far!
