After two weeks of constant coastal winds and the one night of extreme stormy weather I decided that it was time to check into a van park to get out of the wind, do some washing and re-stock supplies. The Rippons decided to stay at Warroora station and we moved on to the Big 4 at Exmouth.
When we arrived we saw a familiar tent camped next to us - our fellow Cub campers who we had met at Perlubie Beach - Bill, Sal and Bridget. The boys had fun hanging out with Bridget and other friends they had made in the park.
As we spent mothers day in Exmouth the boys cooked me up a scumptious breakfast of eggs, hash browns and mushrooms. Lachie and I also enjoyed a walk into town where we sampled a fresh mango slushie from the local health food shop. The boys spent many a night in the camp kitchen watching the AFL with the other fans from around the country.

Our 'one night' van park stay turned into 6 as Craig and Adam decided that a trip to Exmouth wouldn't be complete without a swim with the whale sharks, and picked a day that the weather looked to be at its best. A couple that we met at the van park, Shane and Sarah, also came for the adventure. According to the boys it was one of the most fantastic experiences of the trip so far. The thrill of jumping into the water and watching the massive beasts gliding gracefully but quickly through the water was incredible. Even though the sharks looked to be swimming effortlessly Craig and Adam had to snorkel furiously just to keep up.
Another bucket list item ticked, and it was time to move inland towards Tom Price.
