Peace and Love Tour

This morning we drove to Monkey Mia to go on a boat cruise around Shark Bay. When we got there we were early so we were able to see the dolphins being fed at the shore. When we got on the boat we walked around the boat and found a spot to sit on the roof. We sailed next to the Leeuwin II which is an old ship. Then we sailed around to see if there were turtles or dolphins. There were loads of turtles and some dolphins but we couldn’t find any dugongs. We had a ride in the boom net at the back of the boat. The temperature when the water was rushing against us was medium. After our cruise we drove back to Denham but took a detour to pump up our tyres because they were still flat from our 4WD yesterday. For dinner we ate at Australia’s most Westerly restaurant.

Editor's Note: The social interactions of the dolphin community in Monkey Mia are fascinating. Some of the female dolphins have learnt to cover their noses with a sponge when digging through the sand for seafood in order to avoid the stonefish. These females will teach this trick to their daughters but not to their sons.
