Yesterday we headed to Monkey Mia to see the dolphins in their natural environment. Oh, and the chance to feed them.  The girl (Hannah) was one of the volunteers who assist in the feeding of the dolphins. When the dolphins arrive they come in close to the shore and the  volunteers then select people to feed them. I was lucky enough to be chosen from the hoards of wannabee dolphin feeders to step up and feed one of them. The dolphin's name was Surprise and was about 33 years old. There were about eight dolphins playing in the area during the first feeding with one of the young ones putting on a show for the tourists.

Gabriella booked a sailing tour on one of the catamarans that leave from the jetty and I stayed ashore and tried my luck at fishing again and then laid around in the sun. We headed back to Denham and arrived just in time for the Denham speedway car display doing the block showing off their cars to the people lining the street.

We planned to do the trip up to Cape Peron in the Francois Peron National park the next day. We slept in and left a bit late but it was an interesting day. The road was 4x4 but pretty much sand with a bit of corrugation. The beaches were beautiful and we could understand why people dragged their camper trailers up the sandy road.  This photo was take at Skip jack Point with the cloud starting to form.

On the way back we dropped into the Peron Homestead. They have a small natural artisan fed hot tub that people visit and have a dip. It was pretty busy when we arrived and as it was only small and a lot of people waiting to get in we had a look around the old shearing shed and took some photos. The photo to the left was and old wool bail marking stencil.

I had said to Gabriella I must get some shots of the sunset as the cloud formation looked really good and should make for a great sunset. Well I waited a bit long and raced to a lookout just up the road hoping to get some shots. Well it was the best sunset I have seen since being on the road. The colours were brilliant and clouds only enhanced the reds and oranges put out as the sun went down. This photo hasn't been edited only minimised in size so I could upload it.

We have one day left in Denham then off to Kalbarri.  I was hoping to do some fishing in Kalbarri but I think it will be too cold for fishing. As we are heading closer to Perth the weather is getting cooler and hopefully we will miss the rain. Bye for now.
