Day 9 on our Darwin to Perth road trip saw us have a little bit of a sleep in before hitting the road. Since we arrived late to the Ningaloo Caravan Park and Resort without the right cash, we had to go to reception in the morning to get our change after they opened. That meant waiting until 8:30 am before we could head off.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we had a small hiccup. As we were packing the van up to leave we noticed one of our rear tires seemed to be down a long way, almost flat.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Exmouth Fuel Supplies is just around the corner, so we pulled in and checked it. It was down to 18psi. Way down by any standards, but the van instructions said it was meant to be around 50psi, so it was WAY down. The helpful attendant at Exmouth Fuel Supplies filled the van up with petrol for us and also helped me check the tyre for any noticeable leaks. The caravan park reception had given me a voucher for 5c\/L off fuel here as well, so it was the cheapest fuel in Exmouth. Add to that the service and it’s definitely the best place to get fuel.<\/p>\n

We decided since we weren’t driving long distances today we would just see how the tyre went.<\/p>\n

Next stop, the visitor information centre.<\/p>\n

Outside the visitor centre is the “big” prawn, which is actually tiny compared to Ballina’s big prawn, but it does make the information centre very recognisable.<\/p>\n

Inside, there is lots of info on Ningaloo National Park including tide timetables, maps and so on. You can also hire snorkelling gear here if you don’t have your own.<\/p>\n

While the hire gear is simple, the prices were reasonable and it is good enough to save you transporting your own gear if you don’t want to or can’t. At the time you could hire at the following prices for 24-hour blocks:<\/p>\n
