Meet the Dolphins - Monkey Mia <2009.4.16>

After the country side national parks, it is time to check out the sea side. So we were driving an other 400km up north on the world heritage drive to Monkey Mia to meet the wild dolphins.


The way up there showed us again the many facet of the Australian Outback









And for the quick stop - the great Australian Dunny



On the way up we stopped at Shell Beach - guess why - yes, it is made purely out of small shells


And early in the next morning the show starts. From 7:30 every day wild dolphins coming to the shore of Monkey Mia to swim along your feet and wait for a little fish snack.

Some of them are coming already since 25 years - most famous one below "Nicky"



The other show you get from the local pelicans - which are really funy guys up there...


After all those activities we were starving for proteines - what else is better than Burger & Steaks :-p)



Little time left for us to relax on the beach, enjoying the sunset ...


... and fading out below the sea of stars!
