| OUR BIG TRIP MARY & OLI GOING AROUND AUSTRALIA |
WEST COAST - Page 18
18 September 2007, Tuesday
Continuation of the Steep Point story...
19 September 2007, Wednesday
Well we are in Shark Bay and only 30 km's from Monkey Mia, so we just had to see the Dolphins. It is very touristic and the
first feeding at 8 am was quite full as you will see in the pictures, however it is still quite nice to see the Dolphins swim in front
of your feet. We have had the opportunity to swim with Dolphins before, in Palau, and that was obviously better, but still nice
to see them again that close. After that, we just waited for our cruise in the afternoon to see the Dugongs. The tour itself was
not bad but the Dugongs are just too far away from the boat. We also got a free sunset cruise with it and at the end, on both
tours we saw a few Dugongs, Dolphins and turtles. The pictures will show them quite far away and that is the only
disappointment about the tour. Maybe the most interesting part of the day was the feeding of the Pelicans at the beach of
Monkey Mia to keep them away from the Dolphins during the three feeding sessions. Below are the pictures from today.

| This is what you get at the beach, two rangers walking between the Dolphins and the people and lots of those people - you can maybe only see half of the people at the beach - the rest of the pictures below are snapshots of the Dolphins during the first two feeding sessions. |
