Denham / Monkey Mia
















Day 88. Denham It rained overnight and in the morning as we were leaving Carnavan. That was good for the farmers. We drove to Denham which is on Shark Bay. We rode our bikes around town. Our caravan is right on the beach. The caravan park is the most west caravan park in Australia. It was really windy today but not much rain in the afternoon.

Day 89. Monkey Mia Today we got up early because we had to leave for Monkey Mia to feed the dolphins. It was about 20 minutes drive and we got there at 7.30. The first feeding of the dolphins was at 8.00 and my brother Brock got to feed a dolphin but I didn't. There were 200 people looking at the first feeding. After that we had hot chocolate at the Monkey Mia Resort then watched a film on dolphins in the wild. We saw heaps of dolphins in the bay at Monkey Mia and when I was by myself not at feeding time, unexpected dolphin came and there was around about 20 people there and I got so close to 4 dolpins in the water. but you werent allowed to touch them. In the afternoon we went for a boat ride on a catamaran called Shotover and we saw 2 dugongs in the wild and 2 dolphins in the wild. It was a bit of a windy day when we were sailing.

Day 90. Denham, Francois Peron National Park.Today we went for a bike ride in Denham, then in the afternoon we went for a drive to Ocean Park were we saw lots of fish and turtles and sharks. We them feed the fish and the sharks. Then we went for a drive to the Peron Homestead and Brock and I sat in the hot tub which was naturally hot spring water.Then we went to Little Lagoon for a walk before we went back to camp.The weather was nice today around 25 degrees and no wind.

    At school we have been very busy! There is only 3 and a half weeks to go before the holidays! This term has gone so quickly!
    The new school is looking fantastic, so when you get back from holidays we will go for a walk up there so you can see how all the building is going! Its a little bit wet and muddy at the moment but the buildings looks awesome!
