I had to leave the crew today L And take the Great Northern Highway back to Perth… I have never seen so much mining equipment… All we saw as we were driving south was mining equipment going north to Tom Price and Newman.. I really could see myself living in Newman, only because they pay very well!!! Tonight we stayed in old sheep herder quarters.
Up very early 430 am so we could get into Perth on time… I had enough time to get all my laundry done and get prepared for a very hectic week. Out of a Peter Sellers movie, the party is over!! School for the next month is going to be very stressful and my motivation is meeting up with Erin and Ciera at the end of it all

Last night we drove into exmouth, which is a wonderful little town. And has the best hostel along the west coast (that I saw). Today we spent the whole day in Exmouth and in the morning we drove to Cape Range National Park. We went up to a lighthouse look out and saw whales out in the ocean!! Also from this vantage point, we could see the US Naval communications for the entire region!!! There were 20 huge towers!! It was pretty crazy. We travelled another half and hour to the best beach we went to!! Turquoise Bay!!! Sadly today I forgot my camera at the hostel. I have never seen water as blue or sand as white as on this beach!!! Today we rented snorkel equipment because Ningaloo (unlike the Great Barrier) is right off the beach. We saw reef sharks and nurse sharks (both have completely non-aggressive natures) sleeping under the coral. I also got to swim with a sea turtle J It was so cool and all I could think about was the turtle dudes in Finding Nemo. I would go behind him or her where he couldn’t see me and he or she would turn its head very relaxed to see where I was. Very very cool!! We stayed here til mid-afternoon and headed back to Exmouth for a beautiful sunset!!!

So this week has pretty much been crazy!!! Super busy with school. I had three assignments due today(Friday) and a midterm Wednesday!! But now I am done 🙂 I am really getting excited for my spring break! I leave very early next friday morning. Yesterday, I went to dinner at Erika’s (roomie) aunt and uncles house. It was Yum. And her uncle is going to teach me to surf once it gets warm because he goes every morning. Well, I wont be writing for a while, but I will have bunches to talk about when i get back from my adventure up North.
Cheers, Allison
