DAY 24 – SHARK BAY – MONKEY MIA

Today we returned to the desert country. Rain is obviously quite rare in these parts. The contrast between the red sand and crystal clear water is spectacular.

This morning we meandered through Geraldton, a very old town with a substantial mining and fishing port and then headed north to Denham, the nearest town to Monkey Mia where the dolphin feeding happens. The whole area is within the World Heritage listed Shark Bay, well known for its marine life.

We have to get up early in the morning and leave here at 7:15 to be at the dolphin feeding at 7:45. How will we manage?

We are enjoying an Evans and Tate Classic Rose this evening, again especially selected from our cellar.

If you look carefully, you can see the ocean between the trees opposite our van site.

Earlier this evening we enjoyed some interaction with most of the family via Skype. They are having Pizzas at Royal Pines.
