Exmouth - Bundegi Beach

We really loved Exmouth. It is quite a small town, plenty of tourist accommodation but not much else. The WA coast around here is so underdeveloped compared to the East Coast. There are no huge resorts, no massive apartment complexes, no trendy cafes etc that you see all though the Eastern States. It is very laid back. However it is still hugely expensive. The supermarket prices are unbelievable, particularly for fruit and vegetables. Apples were $9 - $10 per kilo! So Jack's fruit intake has had to be restricted! Our friends the Vallances would not be able to afford to live here with the amount of fruit their kids eat!
The caravan park had a really lovely pool.



The first place we visited was Bundegi Beach which was about 12km north of town. We spent about 3 days here as it was a perfect spot for swimming and fishing. There was a boat ramp for the kids to jump and snorkel from and for us to sit under to get out of the sun. We didn't have much luck fishing, Tom was the only one who caught anything but unfortunately his fish was a bit small to keep.



The fish police were very vigilant checking quantities and size so we had to be careful. Dion managed to spearfish a couple of batfish and catch some barracuda, parrot fish and bream so we had fish for dinner for a couple of nights.



Michael bought a new rod but it must be faulty as he hasn't caught anything yet!

The sea life is amazing around here. In one afternoon at Bundegi we saw lots of different fish, some in schools of hundreds, stingrays, turtles, shovel nose sharks and whales in the distance. Lovely spot to spend a few days.
