Monkey Mia back to Denham

Day 40
Friday, 13.3.09

This morning we were up at 6:30 to get ready to see the dolphins at 7:30. We were there quite early and saw a few dolphins swimming around. The area is now very highly regulated. We were told we could only stand in the water ankle deep and were not to touch the dolphins. There were probably about 200 or so people there. The dolphins swam up close but not too close and rarely lifted their heads out of the water. It was great to see them but very disappointing to see how much control there is.



After the dolphin show, we moved to a caravan park in Denham. The people here are lovely and more helpful than the caravan park people in Monkey Mia. We are right on the ocean and as I type I can see a kite surfer out. When we first pulled into Denham, I had to fill my bike. When I went to get back on, an emu wandered casually past and down the main road. I'm going to try to post both a picture and small video clip. The video was taken on my phone and is an mp4 so it may or may not work. The video clip is not the emu I first saw but one I saw when I walked back into Denham. Since then, I've seen several emus wandering around the place. It's great and I love it.
