Just driving

Today was spent mostly in the car driving between Exmouth and Tom Price. First thing this morning we picked up our photos from the dives....so disappointing! Most of them are rubbish and a waste of money. We dropped into the dive shop on our way and 'donated' them our dive cameras, though I think you'd be better off just enjoying the dive rather than wasting time and energy (i.e. air) trying to take photos which don't come out anyway.

After that we hit the road for the long drive to Tom Price. There was a minor panic about half way there when we stopped for petrol and I thought I might have left my wallet in Exmouth, but thankfully I hadn't. We have a packed lunch so stopped off for a picnic along the way. As we arrived in Tom Price, we spotted a snake on the road and managed to get some photos -- the highlight of the day. On arriving in Tom Price we went to the supermarket to pick up supplies, and then headed to Tom Price Tourist Park where we are spending the next couple of nights. They didn't have a private room available, so we're in a shared dorm with two other guys. Another early start in the morning -- we're being picked up at 7.30 for a tour of Karijini National Park
