DAY 19 - CARNAVON- QUOBBA BLOWHOLES – CORAL BAY

18 March 2008

DAY 19 Pilbara – Kimberley Trip

CARNAVON- QUOBBA BLOWHOLES – CORAL BAY

To Quobba we went
To see the blowholes vent


On a nice hot day
By the lovely bay


The waves were gushing, crashing
Then into caves they were rushing

And as the sound built to a roar
Water exploded from the rock pore

As water exploded to a great height
It was a mesmerising sight
A hundred photos later
Downloaded but what to keep for later


The question still hangs in the air
(Which is the better of the pair)
As much as the hot air
As it climbs to forty again
Accompanied by flies again
Whilst cicadas serenade at lunch
And mozzies add to the punch
Hot, hot, hot and wet
Very humid and we sweat

Across Tropic of Capricorn we go
And only 50 k to go
To Coral Bay for the sea breeze
And for the thermometer to drop a squeeze


Didn’t drive far today. Enjoyed watching the water explode in the air for a while. After getting to Coral Bay we walked around, had a swim and relaxed after shaking all the dust out of our clothing. Found that dust is still getting in through some mysterious place. Slowly these places are being found and the problem is now confined to one small area.
