Coral Bay<br />

In 2007, Linley and I<br />

travelled with Jane and<br />

friend Richie to Coral Bay.<br />

Here we went fishing,<br />

catching some big ones.<br />

Then we went to Exmouth<br />

and swam with the whale<br />

sharks (the largest fish in<br />

the ocean). This is an<br />

awesome experience. The<br />

spo er plane finds the<br />

whale sharks and the boat<br />

we were on drops you in<br />

Whale Shark<br />

front of the Whale Shark and you watch them swim towards you. One of the very<br />

large ones was only meters away as you watched in awe.<br />

You see small fish swim in and out of its mouth as they swim along. A er the Whale<br />

Shark has gone, while wai ng for the boat to pick us up, sea snakes would swim<br />

past.<br />

On the way back to our landing bay, we came across a pod of Orca’s (killer whales)<br />

diving on a baby Humpback whale to drown it with mother whale thrashing around<br />

trying to protect her calf. They ended up killing the calf and they only eat the<br />

bo om jaw and the<br />

tongue. A er they<br />

finished feeding, they<br />

came over to our<br />

boat. The boat<br />

operator said in all<br />

the years he had<br />

been up there, he<br />

had never seen this<br />

before. Then when<br />

we were on the bus<br />

going back to<br />

Exmouth, we came<br />

across an Echidna<br />

burying itself on the<br />

side of the road.<br />
