Johnno's Xmas Present 2018: we finally used the gift certificates I gave him!
Keeping it simply, (because I have just sorted the first 600 photos to make this blog!!), and have another 900+ photos they gave me, still to look at!!
Birds Eye View is a company in Exmouth WA, run by the very fun & energetic owner Gavin: meeting Gav is worth the trip on it's own!!
Tiny (like the smallest planes in the world!!) microlights, fly from Exmouth Airport just out of town, over the Ranges, to the amazing Ningaloo reef. We saw so much in the water, but sorry I took my short lens for scenic photos, so didn't get any good shots of the Whales, Whalesharks, Sharks, Turtles, and HUGE balls of bait fish we passed over.
I'll tell the story by photos:

| Johnno getting the safety talk from Gav...What could go wrong? |
 |
| View from my seat, we are all ready to go! |
I had my Nervous Giggle going on as we took off, my poor pilot had to listen to me for the first 10 minutes before I settled down. As we left the ground I was suddenly VERY aware of how very small the microlights ARE!!!
 |
I suddenly felt VERY SMALL!
and our Microlite sudden felt very small as well!! |
 |
| Johnno was grinning the whole hour! |
 |
| Exmouth Marina |
 |
| Both Microlights had GoPro's taking photos...so I have another 900 photos to look at yet! |
