Exmouth is a small coastal town about 1250 km from Perth, the capital of Western Australia and about 3,800 km from Adelaide. It has a beautiful coastline with sparkling turquoise waters and the Ningaloo Reef which fringes the coast and is 260 km long and is Australia's largest fringing coral reef.

Ningaloo is recognised as one of the world's important nesting grounds for the green and loggerhead turtles.
The shipwreck of the SS Mildura can be seen from the coast off Exmouth. The SS Mildura was a cattle steamer and was wrecked in 1907 during a cyclone.

We drove out to Yardie Creek in Cape Range National Park, about 70km from Exmouth. Yardie Creek has a permanent water source.

What a beautiful, wild place!
Your hear how those old wrecks become like habitats for sea life over time.
Looks quite isolated and peaceful.
Beautiful expansive sunset! :)
That was a clever way to get an X. I love your first shot.
