Denham to Kalbarri (Tuesday 18th May 2010)

Travel Day.
Denham to Kalbarri 371 km.
On the way out of Denham we stopped at Shell Beach. A beautiful pristine beach covered in millions of tiny white cockle shells. The girls were pretty happy. Shells, Shells, Shells.
At 9.30am we stopped and learnt all about the world of Stromatolites, the oldest living organisms on the planet, at Hamelin Pool. Stromatolites are made up of bacteria and algae and live in water that is twice as salty as sea water. They are very slow growing, 0.3mm a year.
Around 2pm we arrived into Kalbarri.
At Chinaman's Beach Lookout we watched a pod of dolphins swimming by in the ocean. They flipped out of the water here and there like they were putting on a show for us. Yes, The Bassett's are in town!!
