Shark Bay Images.
This is a top pick! We've been in Shark Bay now for almost a year! The time has absolutely flown. Of course we've already squeezed in an overseas trip (see previous entries on the Caribbean November/December 2012). It seems the right time to add an album of photos ...

This is a top pick! ... that we go to Carnarvon for an xray. BUT WE HAVE NO VAN!!! Dad's story: We are in the most westerly part of Australia in the most westerly and isolated of towns so you have to give people here some slack. They are natural loners and seeking out an ...

Monkey feeding
While in Western Australia, why not stay in the continent's westernmost caravan park? Denham Seaside Tourist Village makes this claim so it seemed as good a reason as any for choosing our campground. We didn't have time for the long 4WD track to Steep ...
Dolphins at Monkey Mia
Another long drive led us up a peninsula to Denham. This was the famous gateway to Monkey Mia, a place where dolphins come into the bay to be fed by rangers every day. Why it's called Monkey Mia is anyone's guess. This is also the place to see a Dugong. ...
