While all of Monday's drama had been unfolding we had also been in touch with our friends Helen and Pete who were now nearby staying at Yardie Homestead just outside of Cape Range National Park. Now that I was on my own they kindly drove into town and collected me to take me back into Cape Range National Park and keep me company for a large part of the day. We first went to a popular snorkeling spot simply called Lakeside and had a go there. Once again were it not for others pointing us in the right direction we may have missed the coral and fish completely but by walking further down the beach we came to an area with many bommies and lots of attractive fish. Helen and I spent quiet a long time in the water while Pete stayed ashore after a brief foray into the ocean. Following on from this we went back to their campsite at Yardie Homestead and had lunch there before then heading back into Exmouth. In Exmouth we visited the DPWS (Department of Parks and Wildlife Service) office and managed to reallocate the remainder of mine and Sue's future booking at Kurrajong campground into Helen and Pete's name rather than having it go to waste. That done I was returned to the RAC campground while Helen and Pete returned to Yardie Homestaed. Dinner was a chicken curry that Sue had prepared before we'd set out from Melbourne and had lain frozen in our freezer until now. It was very welcome I can assure you. And so ended Tuesday.
Wednesday was spent washing clothing, hanging it out to dry and random chores with one brief walk into town to break the monotony - a coffee at the bakery and something to eat. Reading books also featured highly in my day's activities. This morning's sunrise was something to behold as hopefully the photographs will demonstrate. Emus were out in force in the caravan park today - they are a delight to watch but they can be a nuisance insofar as they will open anything left out that might contain food as they scavenge around the park.
