Denham - Monkey Mia (Monday 17th May 2010)

Got up super early to drive up to Monkey Mia (20min from Denham) to watch the dolphin feeding. We stood in ankle deep water waiting in anticipation for the dolphins to swim in for their regular feed. Sure enough at 7.30am in they came. They came right into the shallow water and happily swam just centimeters from us. There were 3 feed sessions all up and we waited until the dolphins came back for their second and third feed. They were just amazing to watch and I think the girls were gobsmacked. After that we wandered around the visitor centre and learnt more about dolphins and other fishy friends! A pretty good way to start the day. We had breakfast when we got back to camp and then set off again to see Little Lagoon and Francois Peron National Park.
Our last adventure for the day was the Shark Bay Ocean Park Aquarium.
We had a guide give us a tour around the park to explain about all the weird looking fish they kept here. We did recognize one, the shark which the guide tried to feed but he wasn't very hungry. There scare you even when you are looking down on them from a platform.
