Father's Day! Well, we were kind of remote from restaurants, chocolate shops and the like, but the boys made up for it with ingenuity. I had a trail of clues, beginning with a blindfolded walk to the beach to read my first clue in the sand, and finishing up with a Monty Python CD. My treat was not having to do dishes all day. Isn’t luxury all comparative!
We drove to the information centre in the morning, and as a result we decided to do a snorkelling cruise for 1 hour later in the afternoon. The only trouble was that it was back in Exmouth. Despite that, it was great. Ashley stayed on board and had a crew member to himself pointing out fish and coral through the glass bottomed boat. I did a little snorkelling then joined him, while Mandy and Brendan spent the hour drifting over the reef and having a great time. Although it was Brendan’s first go, he loved it.
After a view of the communications station (the highest mast was as tall as the empire state building) and the reef from the lighthouse lookout, we joined the other campers at a community barbecue tea.
