The secrets we keep

It was very very hot last week. I could not sleep some times and I read the book at one night."The secrets we keep" This book is very easy to read and about humanity, heartwarming story and a little gossip exited me too.I love this book!

Anyway 2days last week are very horrible hot at day and night..I was sweating all day.

It's usually dry in summer in Perth.very hot in day time but cool in night time.This was good point here.But this year is different.There were a lot of humit days!

I bought one more book for the other unsleeping day.:p

Navy Pier Dive - No.1

There are many atractive dive sites in Western Australia.Huge wreck, Leafy Seadragon, Rottnest, etc. If I chosed one as the best dive site, I have no doubt to say "Navy Pier".
I worked there as a guid for 6 month.Visibility was sometimes around only 3-5m and then not really fun.But if visibility is OK more than 5m, it is incredible dive site!
It's protected from fishing and the strong current just hit this Jetty.That cause very unique aquatic life.We need to see the time when current stop.It happens 2 times in a day around 4 hourse totally.It's very small window but we can not miss time.

The pier is not so big and only 12m depth.But full of fish are there.Also QLD grouper, fat whitechip sharks, wobbigon sharks, frog fish  and Giant Treverlly...It is the best thing to hover at the middle of water and just watch fish passed.Even if I dive 1000 times there, probably I will never be bored.

Exmouth

I went to Exmouth many times.Once by boat, and driving most time.But The way from Perth to Exmouth is 1600km and very long drive.So once I saw the senery to Exmouth, I prefer to fly back.
It's worth to drive there once as you can see a strange tree, wild animals and just strait road in the midle of nowhere and so on.There are also some famouse sites like pinnacle, kalbarri. monkey mia and coral bay.It's good idea to stop these spot on the way to Exmouth.

You can easily to see whale shark, Manta ray, Dugongs in the whale shark trip.There are a lot of possibility.Diving in Light house bay and Navy pier is fantastic.Navy pier is like a wild aquarium and you will never be bored to dive there.

Actually not good beaches for swiming are around the town but if you drive to national park, driving for an hour from town, there are many beautiful coral beaches.just a bit far from town.A lot of people love to camp there and light house.The view from light house is magnificent.You are better to get champagne and glasses to go there for sunset.

The town is very small.There are one supermarket, one bakery, 2 restaurant and 2 pubs.Nothing to do except going to Ocean but this is the best point of the town.

Grey Nurse Shark

There are a lot of shark attack around Perth but we can not see many sharks in diving.Only we can see some Port Jacson Shark and Wobbigon Shark occationally.But grey nurse shark will come aound one cave in Rottnest from March to June.Only one place, only these time.
When I worked in Exmouth, grey nurse shark came around Navy pier from June to September.Suddenly they came from somewhere only in these term.

Wild nature sometimes surprises me.
I think grey nurse shark like to come in the place having strong current and the time when water temprature dropped off.

When I saw them, I was very impressive.I've never seen sharks so closer and their tails are really beautiful! They will come to Rottnest soon.looking forward to...

Table-> Lamb!

I sold a table which I have never used for a long time.The table was capable for 5 people and good for family.The person who bought it came from Kalbarri, around 500km from Perth.I was surprised they want to come from that far way for the table.Also they brought a block of lamb and some lamb chops.The block is huge! They are really nice couple and hearty.I am glad to see them:))

I cooked this block of lamb in the oven.I am growing the rosemary so I put them on the top of lamb.Rosemary came with lamb very well and great taste.:))

QLD Grouper - Exmouth

There are around 5 QLD groupers at Navy Pier.They are in the other dive sites but some at Navy Pier are very big.QLD groupers are usually not friendly.But I came back to Navy pier this time, the biggest QLD grouper was very friendly.Probably the site is protected from the other fish and he growed very big that why he is not afraid divers.When we watched the other things, he always tried to disturb us.He came from behind of us and watched us.We could see he was sleeping on the corner of poles and snappers were swimming around him as they protected him.When he swim, so many small fish followed him.He is very gorgeous!

Frog fish - Exmouth

There is very strange shape of frog fish.We can see at Navy pier, Light House Bay but Navy pier is the easiest place to see this frog fish.They are just staying in the hole and rarely we can see their hole body.They are looks ugly but cute.
