Kitesurfing.com.au travel blog from Rob's iPhone
Hi, Rob here. Posterous lets you post from the road via any web connection, including an iPhone. So, when I'm out and about and see something interesting, I'll upload to the web for you.
Cheers, Rob
WA contrasts
Amazing contrasts here. Bright red earth against white sand and shells beside pristine blue ocean--and the strongest currents I have ever seen--40 knot offshores to boot. One slip and you'd be history.

Update
Hey folks,
Apologies for the lack of updates and posts--been out of radio range, cellphone range and internet range for the past four days down at Cape Range National Park at Ningaloo Reef. Astonishing place and incredibly remote from anything.
In a dive shop at a computer right now that I can't upload images to so, sorry, the pretty photos will have to wait at least a couple more days. Might be able to upload something from my iPhone later.
Having a grand time after driving 1,500km in two days from Perth; now will keep the driving to a couple hundred km per day and make our way back toward Perth.
Two sensational days of kiting in utter perfection at Sandy Bay 20-25 then 25-28 knots but not a drop of swell on the ocean. Looks like some big stuff coming on the weekend -- just hope it's not too big to handle on a 6'4". Still not got the new surfboard in the water yet...
Caught dinner two days ago in the form of a Golden Emperor fish about 3.5kg along with a dozen or so other smaller ones that we put back; last night hooked into something the size of a battleship but it managed to dislodge the hook after spinning out about 150m of line from my reel. Dunno what it was but there was no way I was going to get it up on the beach. Just as well that it got away.
Been hot as a pizza oven every day since arriving in WA-- Past couple days up to 43C.
Heading south to Coral Bay tonight.
More later and hopefully some photos.
Cheers,
Rob and Kat
