We drove north to Bunbury, the third largest city in WA (which isn't saying much as it only has around 30,000 people so it's still smaller than Guernsey!). We found a nice campsite just outside of town which was also very cheap, then went into town to book onto a dolphin swim tour for the next day. It was pretty hot (27 degrees lovely!) so we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the pool. The next day we were up early to get down to the Dolphin Discovery Centre for our swim tour which left at 7.30am. Once we were all kitted up we headed down to the boat, and there was already a dolphin swimming by the beach so that was a pretty good sign for the rest of the tour! The boat took us about 10 minutes away from the centre, and we found a big group of mother and baby dolphins resting and feeding. We got into the water and just floated waiting for them to come to us, we waited about 20 minutes with nothing happening, then we started to hear whistles and clicks under the water and the dolphins came right up to us, even swimming underneath us - they were so close we could almost touch them! One was called Enigma, according to one of the tour guides. They stayed for a few minutes then went off again, we stayed in the water and about 15 minutes later the dolphins were back again, the baby dolphin even swam right underneath me! It was amazing to be so close to these animals, especially as they are wild and don't have to come over if they don't want to. We had a rest on the boat and then got back in the water about 30 minutes later, unfortunately this time the dolphins didn't come over to us but we could still see them swimming nearby. When we got back from the trip we wandered around the discovery centre, which had a small aquarium and a 3D film that we could watch. We then headed back to the campsite to get changed, and in the afternoon went up to Boulters Heights which is a lookout with really good views over the city and the bay. The next day we explored the city centre of Bunbury, which has quite a few shops, and then drove along to do the Mangrove Boardwalk. This is only a few minutes walk from the city centre, but you get to walk through a 10,000 year old mangrove swamp with loads of wildlife - it was weird to think we were so close to the town! On our last day in Bunbury we drove out to the Ferguson Valley, about 20 minutes away from the city, and went to Gnomesville - this is right in the middle of a forest, and there are 3000+ garden gnomes that have been put them from all over the world! It was really surreal, they have been made into little villages and scenes with a police station, detention centre and loads of different families, it was really cool to see! Unfortunately we didn't have any gnomes of our own so we couldn't leave any ourselves, we would have liked to though. Next we drove a bit further into the forest to see the King Jarrah tree, which is a 300-500 year old tree that is the biggest in the forest, it really was huge! Next up we went to see the Wellington Dam, which looked like something out of a James Bond movie. It wasn't as big as the ones in the movie, but there was a really powerful jet of water coming out. We then drove down a really windy road through the forest to get to Honeymoon Pool, which was this really peaceful area next to the Collie River full of wildlife. There was a picnic area so we stopped for lunch here, and even dipped our feet into the river- the water was freezing, much colder than the sea, so no swimming for us! We then headed back to Bunbury and spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool swimming and enjoying the heat, it's surreal being this warm in December.
