Kalumburu - Honeymoon Bay

Our stay at Kulumburu was fantastic, we would recommend anyone to make the effort to get there if in the area. The road into Kalumburu is said to be rough. Whilst the  term 'track' would be better describe the road, we found the road doable providing you went slow.

Many activities we completed during our stay at Honeymoon Bay and the owners would do anything to help. Fishing off the beach was a popular activity. If you wanted to find Mitch you just needed to go to the beach and find him with his fishing rod. He found live bait was the best form of bait; if he wasn't fishing he was annoying Chris to get live bait.

We were fortunate enough to be taken out on a boat to do some fishing. Here Prue out fished the rest of the family with 3 FingerMark, 1 Red Snapper and 2 Rock Cod. Ethan came in second with 3 Finger Mark and 1 Travelly. Mitch came third with 2 sharks and dad came last with nothing.

The beach at Honeymoon Bay is  stunning with its crystal clear water and Boab Trees, unfortuneately we could not swim in due to crocs.

The boys were fortunate enough to meet two girls similar to their ages. At the night the Hermit Crabs would move into camp looking for fresh water. The kids spent many hours catching the Hermit Crabs and buidling a home for them out of a cardboard box. They caught over 100 and the test was to try and prevent them from escaping, a hands on science lesson.

Other activites included eating fresh oysters that you can pick off the rocks yourself and making your own spear for spearfishing. The boys we meant to make their own spears but ended up having them given to them.

We also visted the Kalumburu Mission where we visited the musuem, church and old bakery. Ethan purchased a decorated Boab nut with a story etched into it by one of the locals.
