DAY 25 –MONKEY MIA DOLPHINS CAN BE CROSSED OFF THE BUCKET LIST

We have had some special days on this trip but today was right up there. 

The highlight was of course Trish getting to feed a dolphin at Monkey Mia, a very special place. 

The photos tell the story of the day.

Between the dolphins and the Pearl farm tour, we enjoyed a cappuccino.

We were taken to the Pearl farm by a vessel with a very entertaining skipper who looked remarkably like Peter Dillon.

We then explored the 40 klms of challenging tracks in the Francois Peron National Park (we only got bogged once) to get to spectacular scenery. 

The contrast between the red dunes, white beach sand and blue ocean is outstanding.

Trish’s phone rang. It was her Springbrook walking mates ringing to compare notes on how our Monday afternoon walk compared with theirs.

And of course a friendly Manta Ray swam by. Unfortunately we didn't see any dugong, the other sea creature for which area is well known.

To round off the day, I took a quad bike tour along the local beaches.

And of course we finished the day with a Watershed Sauvignon Blanc Semillon especially selected from our cellar.

Tomorrow will be a lazy day heading further north but probably not too far.
