Monkey Mia

Hi there well after our very nice Lobster dinner which Sam  and I loved (mum said we had better get good jobs if we want to eat lobster for dinner every night!) we hopped in the car and headed to Monkey Mia our first stop was Geraldton to get some food supplies and then the long 400kms to Monkey Mia. We keep ourselves busy in the car by listening to audio books and playing our ipod and also playing car cricket, it is always a fight to see who gets the white cars because there is definitely more of them! We also tell stories and Dad tells us about when he was a kid!


When we finally got to Monkey Mia we set up our camp (we are getting really good at it now!) Mum and us boys went down to the beach to have a look and were amazed to see some Dolphins right on the edge!
We woke up early the next morning and headed down to the beach to see the dolphins again and this time they fed them. There are only 5 that they feed but up to 20 come into the beach it was very cool!
Here are some pics!



They all have names and this one is called Nicky because she has a nick in her dorsal fin.


Later in the day we went on a Catarmaran tour to find the Dugongs. Dad got asked to help put the sail up and then he reckoned he was so good he could be the captain of the boat!




Here is Mum and the other boys!




Here is a Dugong!



We have had an excellent day and can't wait for tomorrow! After seeing the Dolphins in the morning we are going to head towards Carnarvon!
