Day 20 of 55 - Exmouth Cape Tourist Village to Monkey Mia



Day One of our drive back to Perth. Ottine and Jeroen were headed our way, and we needed a way back south. The four of us drove 90 minutes north to Exmouth the previous night so Jeff and I could return our rental jeep. First thing in the morning, we loaded up all our gear in the 1983 Ford Falcon station wagon (picture below), and headed south. It was December 26th, and we wanted to be in Perth by Dec. 30th, in time to settle in before we party like it's 1999, cause it was 1999! The eve of the new millennium. We had 4 days to make a 2 day drive, so we took a side trip to Monkey Mia where they feed wild dolphins.

We set up camp at Denham Seaside Tourist Village. Below is a picture of our campsite at the top of a hill overlooking the Indian Ocean. It was a fantastic view.
