We had a lovely relaxing morning as we didn't have to rush to get anywhere. The kids didn't sleep in so we were still awake early though. We had brekkie and the kids were desperate to play with the dogs next door. They had a play and then we went for a drive to the lagoon (which is great for snorkelling as its a coral filled lagoon with fish and shells in abundance) and the blow holes (which form a natural spectacle as the ocean is forced through sea caves befor...

Whalebone Bay - Carnarvon - Point Quobba 405 kms / 10 ½ hours We woke up at 6:30am and were about to leave and spotted a pod of dolphins that swam into the bay feeding on fish. We watched them for about 10 mins and they got further away so we left at 7:10am. We stopped at the Hamelin Pool Stromatolites which is one of only a few places on earth where living marine stromatolites (the oldest living organisms on the planet) exist. These rocky looking lumps i...

Denham - Eagle Bluff - Whalebone Bay 43kms Today we had a sleep in and a slow morning. We left the caravan park at 10am and went to the Ocean Park Aquarium.

It was really informative and we learnt a fair bit (as to whether we retain the information is another story!). The highlight is the end where they take you to an outdoor view...

Whalebone Bay - Monkey Mia - Denham 93 kms We were up bright and early and on the road by 6:30am this morning to be at Monkey Mia by 7:30am. We were there in plenty of time and saw a beautiful sunrise on our drive there. The wind was howling and it was freezing cold but we all wore shorts so we could be in the water with the dolphins. While we were waiting you could see lots of dolphins swimming around just near the jetty. Around 8:00am we were able to go d...

Kalbarri - Overlander Roadhouse (fuel) - Denham - Whalebone Bay 423kms / 6 hrs Sadly we were leaving Kalbarri today so we packed up and filled the water tanks up and got away around 9am. We stopped at Hawk's Head river gorge in the Kalbarri National Park and went to the lookout overlooking the Murchison river and the rocks jutting out of the cliff face which looks like a Hawk's head. We then continued driving and saw lot's of dead kangaroos on the road. We...
