a family chronicle · Ningaloo to Broome · May 2026
Day One
Manly at four in the morning, two flights, and the hire car pointed north into the light.
Sydney to Exmouth · Thursday 14 May 2026
Hero caption goes here.
One evocative line to open the day.
Opening paragraph, written once the day's story lands. Who was up first, what the reef was doing at first light, coffee before the drive out.
The main movement of the day: the swim, the reef, the drive, the birthday table, whatever carried the day.
A lighter human aside from the day. The car conversation, the thing someone said at lunch, the plan for tomorrow.
The best of the family chat and the voice notes, tidied only enough to read.
Closing prose. Dinner, what the sky did over the Indian Ocean, the day talked back through.
A short italic envoi, the feeling to leave on.
