Airborne






Yardie Homestead just out of Exmouth in WA was a fabulous place to camp. We met a family who owned a motorized parachute and Murray suggested maybe James could have a flight with him. So just prior dusk Murray rigged up his machine whilst his wife Jules fired up the engine like starting a lawn mower. I must admit I was little concerned particularly when the 1st attempt was aborted due to the parachute getting hooked under the wheel, anyway 2nd attempt was a success and I was soon hurdled down the runway with my family in awe. Once up the breeze was nice and the view absolutely to die for. This was so good, better than any chopper ride. From Yardie we did day trips into Cape Range Nat Park and visited Turquois bay for a reef drift that was fabulous, we also did Oyster Stacks snorkling and all in all was fabulous.
