Mackenzie: Today we got ready to go to Coral Bay. I was watching a movie in the car. When we got there we looked at the caravan park, there is a pool and park and a jumping pillow. We went in the pool. After dinner we went to the beach and we saw a crab.
Fletcher : Today we drove from Carnarvon to Coral Bay it took a long time to get here. But when we got here we set up and went to the pool. After tea we had a walk we walked to the beach and I found a crab.
We got to Coral Bay about lunchtime and checked in. Daniels nightmare begins. We pull up to the site to discover its all sand! Those who know Dan will know that sand is his arch enemy closely followed by glitter. We unhitched the van and he was at breaking point so I went to the office to see if we could change to one of their highly advertised grassy sites, but no luck as there are only 12 sites for caravans with dogs and all 12 were on sand, how's that for my four legged friend being discriminated against :( Oh well rules are rules so we stayed put. There is only a couple of taps in the park for drinking water the rest of the taps on the sites are artesian bore water and I found out the hard way that it is boiling hot water. The sprinklers are special aerated spray sprinklers using water from the bore but because it sprays lightly it doesn't burn the grass but it is gorgeous green grass - just not for the dog people!! Bitter much- me - no. We set up and went to the pool for a much needed swim to cool down. We spent a good part of the afternoon there and then went back to van for some school work and a rest. The kids are doing well with their diaries and work, I get no complaints when they do their diaries but when I ask them to do handwriting or spelling words the groaning and moans are non stop. The conversation every where you go is how hot it is and how most people aren't coping, have to say its good to know its not just us. Bentley has had another trim to help him handle the heat a bit better, he is just constantly sleeping now. A quick walk around of the park and a look through "town". Coral Bay has everything you need really all within about 1km from start to finish. Two caravan Parks, a resort, restaurants and quite a few specialty stores and tour booking offices. The parks and resort on one side of the road and the beach on the other. The beach is what Coral Bay is famous for so we headed over for a look with our torches, bit of a waste of time but it was fun. We are all looking forward to snorkelling tomorrow. Wow almost forget Mackenzie and I were in the middle of a robbery this morning. That sounds dramatic doesn't it! We stopped to buy some bits at woolworths carnarvon before we left, as we were walking around I said to Mack, I'm not sure about this lady, something is going down, lets change lanes. We did and I thought nothing of her again while we were shopping, we then saw her at the checkout but she was going through so we decided to line up behind, the checkout chic says to me "she just went through without paying" she was really upset and flustered as the lady while walking away was being quite threatening but smiling at her, she had simply walked thru the register with a full trolley, not put anything on the conveyor belt, just pushed the trolley through ?!?. I suggested she call someone over so she did and then 4 big men chased after her. The poor girl was devastated as the woman was using her because they were both aboriginal, she was so upset that she was using their background as an excuse for her to let her off. I reassured her that she was really brave to stand up to her and to get some support from the company. Poor little Mackenzie was horrified that someone would steal from a supermarket. The men came back with the full trolley and we never saw the lady again.
