Shark Bay and Carnarvon (May 2015)

We travel onwards towards Coral Bay, we are planning to swim with whale sharks and are getting more and more excited at the prospect. However Denham and Monkey Mia better known as Shark Bay are on our way up, so we pay a very brief visit to more stromatolites at Hamelin Pool. 
We stop over for the night at  Shell Bay for the very best sun set so far.
The next day we visit both towns. Well, Monkey Mia is not really a town, but it’s known for it’s dolphins, and sure enough: while Jolmer and Laura are in the water, a happy gracious grey foursome come to take a closer look. Jolmer catches it all on film. It is only a brief encounter, but they really are very close and both are overwhelmed.
The water temperature is lovely.

Further north we come through Carnarvon, not much to report apart from an aged and tired looking Space and Technology museum, and a worn down jetty you shouldn’t walk on after sunset.
