    Hi to all you bike riding freaks (yes I do miss mine)
    I’m camped on Ningaloo Reef and enjoying it greatly
    Been catching heaps of big fish, diving and surfing.

    Today is town day (about 100kms north of camp) and I am now waiting for the low tide at 1800 to get back across the creek
    Will send some pics when I get a chance
    Only have phone/internet when I come to town
    Trust ya’s are all riding the crap out of your bikes

    Sounds awesome Murph. Enjoy.

    Don’t worry. Trails have been dusty so you haven’t missed out on much. Rained yesterday though :)

    Been building some new G5 trails for you to rip up when you get back.

    Sounds like you lot are all doing well and having fun
    Dude, that would be great if you could send a few pics to the OB’s on my behalf, its just too time consuming to do it from here. As you know I’m only in town once a week and usaully not for long to catch the tide on the way back. Much apreciated. ;) For those who don’t know, my camp is 100kms from town and I have to cross a creek at low tide to get here.
    Cheers

    Hey all
    Travels are going well with the occasional misshap to make things interesting
    We have been swimming at the beautiful bitter Springs at Mataranka, done nearly everything at Litchfield N.P. walked all of the gorges in El Questro almost in one day, been to both ends of The Bungle Bungles, checked out Gheiki Gorge and are now camped at Fitzroy Crossing. Its been a bit of a whirlwind and I’m finding it hard to keep up with Tim.
    All good though
    Heres a couple of pics of Tim and I showing the other pathetic tourists how things should be done.
    Cheers

    Murphs story :P

    Hey all
    Some more little drama’s but nothing Tim and I couldn’t deal with. We drove into the Bungles and on arriving found we had no water in the van tank. Thankfully they had water there and it only needed boiling before it was drinkable. We found that we had lost all of our water (along the very rough at times, track in) through the breather on the tank. It was never set up right from the start so Tim and Fashioned/wittled a piece of wood that would let air in but not loose our precious water. It seems to be working.
    Our time at Karajini was special and Tim & I had great fun canyoning/swimming and climbing.
    As you can see by the pics they do have some wide loads up this way. There were two of those trucks with 8 metre wide loads just outside of Tom Price.
    We are now at Exmouth and it will be an early start tomorrow with the low tide at Yardie Creek (a bit over an hour away) at 7:00am
    We are both well and looking forward to getting the boat in the water to dive, fish and surf.
    Will be out of touch for a week or so, until we are back in town.
    Cheers
    Tim and Roy

    Hey Murph,

    Pic 16 looks like the waterfall at the end of elquestro gorge ? Bloody cold pool at the end if its the same one. And is that tim hanging off the wall of tunnel creek in the next pic?

    Looks like your having a great time, extremely jealous.

    next bit :)

    Hi all

    Well its been another week at Ningaloo and Tim and I have had some nice days and some not so nice. Did I tell ya’s that it can get bloody windy over here. Nearly always offshore but just too strong to surf or fish from the boat. On the good days we are out fishing and I have even snuck a couple of great surfs in. Only short sessions as I feel guilty leaving Tim in the boat doing nothing. The fishing has been a little slow after what was a great start. Still guaranteed to catch a feed but nothing of much size. We have been getting a few Coranation Trout, which we could of kept, due to there being no size limit but we let them go anyway. Tim caught a nice mystery fish (shown in one of the pictures) but we didn’t know what it was so back it went. Maybe some of you fishoes could tell us, I thought it looked like a Mangrove Jack but not sure if they live in these waters. Any good size fish that we have to fight we seem to lose to the sharks. We went for a drive the other day and did some climbing/bouldering in a small gorge only a few kms from camp. Had some fun and I hate to say it but Tim did a couple of problems that I couldn’t. Oh the joys of getting old. Windy again this morning thus the letter. Will send this Monday when I’m in town seeing Tim off at the airport. Had a late trip out in the boat yesterday arvo and with only two pieces of bait left, Tim caught this nice Spangely on sunset.

    Cheers

    Tim and Roy :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
