Into the tropics

In Monkey Mia where the dolphins come near the shore to be fed. We saw two dolphins appr. 50 cms from the wateredge. You can also make a 10 minute-safari on camels along the beach. Just about everything is a rip-off.


The pelicans are also hungry and want to be fed as well by the tourists. Monkey Mia: a nice spot.


We also had a look at Shelly-Beach, where there is no sand, just tiny little shells up to 5 metres thick. Although they mine this, for some unknown reason the little shells just keep accumulating.


In Carnarvon we walked along the 1.8 km. jetty, saw some dolphins play at the end of it and schools of tuna, they did not ask for money.


Rocky-Pool, part of the Mighty Gascoyne River. Here we met an english couple, who were camping there for more than a year. They have a house in Spain and a caravan in Australia and they divide their time between the 2 countries. We spent some time with them which was most enjoyable. In the meantime the midgies had a feast on our legs and arms, little pests they are.
