Monkey Mia, Denham & Shark Bay 1.

Shark Bay was discovered on the 25th October 1616 by a Dutch Captain, Dirk Hartog. This was the first record of a European setting foot on Australian soil.
This untouched destination has azure waters, Stromatolites (living microbes, that have helped science gain a better understanding of evolution), sea grasses, marine life, 10% of the worlds Dugong population & the visiting Dolphins at Monkey Mia.
Firstly we went to Monkey Mia to check out the feeding of the Dolphins.  Next we went on a catamaran cruise, the name of our boat was Shotover. Because we booked a day cruise we also received a free sunset cruise. Have I told you all how WINDY it is over here and the cruise was no different, very scenic, lots of Dolphins, Loggerhead Turtles and a shovel nose shark. We also had splendid views of the stunning bays and the Blue Lagoon pearl farm. (for those of you that watch the farmer wants a wife).

The Stromatoites in Hamlin Pool. Steve was very disappointed as it was just so windy, you couldn't see them very well.
