MONDAY 30 OCTOBER CORAL BAY
It was a sunny day, though with some cloud.
We snorkelled in the morning. There was quite a current running today, and it was hard work to swim back to the start of the drift.
This branching coral looked like it had buds on the tips of its branches

I took some more underwater photos, but it was a bit sandy and dull for the best results – yesterday’s wind has stirred the sea up.
After lunch, went for a drive, south along the coast and through Old Cardabia station country. It was the typical semi-arid scrub and saltbush country of these parts.
Coast to the south of Coral Bay
The coast itself became quite rugged. We parked at one point and went walking, down a hill to the rocky shore, on a foot track, to get a good look at it. We didn’t see any other vehicles during the couple of hours we were out there.
Tea was Mongolian lamb stir fry with rice.
