Shark Bay - Monkey Mia

We came to Monkey Mia to see the dolphins. Monkey Mia is located within a reserve.

Here the dolphins naturally swim up to beach to see people.

Chris was selected to feed the dophin 'Puck'. As it is hard to get selected due the amount of people and the feeding opportunites availible, he let the kids have a go. Only Mitch wanted to do it.

We enjoyed the bay by going fishing (unsuccessfully) and hiring a paddle boat.

Shark Bay - Francois Peron National Park

Francois Peron was another spectacular national park we have visited these holidays. Our campsite at Bottle Bay was situated on a beautiful beach.

Of course Mitch was keen on fishing and caught some Whiting and Dart and we all particpated in oyster hunting. Prue, Chris and Mitch ate them fresh of the rocks.

We also visited Cape Peron and Skipjack Point.

Shark Bay - Hamelin's Pools

On our way to Francois Peron National Park we stopped at Hamelin's Pools. Hamelin's Pools is the home to largest stomatalite population in the world. Stromatalies are important as they date back billions of years and house the cyanobacteria that was used to create oxygen as Earth was created. There are only a few stromatalite sites remaing in the world.
