After Kalbarri we carried on north the temperature now in the mid thirties daily. We drove to Denham famous for it's dolphins and stunning coast beaches.
Here we are at Monkey Mia about 30 kms from Denham where dolphins come to the shoreline to be fed. Only 4 are fed out of however many turn up and it's always the same ones.
Toby having his first sea paddle. The sea water getting warmer as we head north.
We both tried paddle boarding for the first time which was fun with the girls taking turns to lie on the board as we paddled around.
The dolphins arrive for a feed.
Ayla and Kyra were chosen to feed this dolphin a fish. Kyra was a bit too nervous to help.
The next day we did a circular walk through the bush and back along the beach. We had lunch in the shade of this tree as it was so hot and not a breath of wind.
Sunset that day at Monkey Mia.
After Monkey Mia we headed into Francois Peron National Park which is for 4 wheel drive vehicles only. It's a peninsula north of Denham surrounded by a beautiful coast full of marine life and on land the occasional emu wandering around.
12 years before this we travelled down through Western Australia and for a while with a couple and their 3 gorgeous children. Well we never imagined that all this time later we would be back in the same spot in Francois Peron National Park with our own 3 kids!
At Cape Peron which is at the tip of the peninsular and where you can always see dolphins and manta rays.
Most of the road to the top of the peninsular is thick sand and fun to 4 wheel drive on.
At the beginning of Francois Peron national park is an old homestead which has a free hot pool to soak in. Bit weird though to do this when the temperature outside is mid 30.c and the pool is 40.c!
Sunset at the homestead.
Leaving Denham you pass this beach called shell beach made up of miniscule white shells. Toby of course tried to eat them all!
