Monkey Mia

Well what a great place and an even greater experience.

Bon and I have been lucky enough to be able to be volunteers at the dolphin experience here at Monkey Mia which involves preparing the feeds, which happen 3 times each morning and then picking out the tourists to feed the dolphins. Bonnie is in 7th heaven,



A truly memorable experience that we will both remember for a long time.

One of the benefits from being a volunteer was that we were able to take the cruises at half price so we took a package which included a wildlife cruise on Shotover, a 60 ft ocean racing catamaran where we saw heaps of Dugongs, dolphins, sea snakes, turtles and tiger sharks which was absolutely brilliant. the package also included a sunset cruise on the same boat and the evening was perfect.

We have stayed here about twice as long as we planned but it has been worth it especially now that the wind has gone and it lovely beach weather and we are at a lovely beach to enjoy it.
 
Unfortunately we are leaving on Thursday and heading down towards Kalbarri, hoping it will be nearly as nice as here and will report in then.
