This morning we drove for an hour down to the end of the peninsula, to hike along the ridgeline at Yardie Creek. We were hoping to see some of the rare black-footed rock wallabies, but we saw only kangaroos instead. Of course, they look so much alike we could have been looking at wallabies and not known it, but they definitely did not have black feet.  

We headed back to Exmouth in the afternoon, since Bill had booked a couple of dives on the navy pier, rated by some as one of the 10 best shore dives in the world.  He said they were good dives, but his camera ended up fogging up at the end so he missed some good photo ops.  But here are some of the pics he managed to get.

This is a lion fish with his mouth open to feed. 

And here is a fairly good sized shark, swimming (away luckily) over a massive coral head.
