Up the coast...

We've worked our way now to Coral Bay and in into the topics - despite the cyclone Dominic which washed the road out and got us spending an extra week in Monkey Mia and Denham (Shark Bay district of Western Australia) - not a bad place to be stuck!

Its been pretty hot in the last week with temperatures reaching 47 degs one afternoon - its like breathing next to a hair drier - definately not the weather for camping - but we are anyway.

It is pretty relaxing here in Coral Bay, the daily routine consists of snorkling, fishing, hunting shady spots and sunset watching. Yesterday we hade our first encounter with a shark while snorkling... very exciting.The next stop will be at Broome in the end of the week - weather permitting.

Our means of transportation...

Our neighbourgs Torgil, Sonny, Ola and Lotta in Monkey Mia.


Finally got to test the snorkling gear... works like a dream.

Friendly baby Emus...

After sun moment... not pealing yet.

Look at the crowd in Monkey Mia... coming off season has its perks, a private beach.



Got to snorkle with the delphins in Monkey Mia.


Rays are not shy here... one just passing David.


Pelicans - had to watch these guys when fishing... scary birds.


Our loyal fan waiting for a fish. We named him "flappy".


Nice to have an audience...


Lucky shot - a pelican snatching David's fish just as I was trying to take a picture of the catch.


Our home - very spacious, not hot at all...

Come on fishy...


Now and then is nice to have a cold cider.


Sunset at the roadhouse.


Dennis took us shark watching in Denham... think we counted about 40 from up here.

Dennis - on top of the food chain... this shark lasted 3 dinners... jummy.

David's 2 meter catch... well in my head anyway.

David's new local friends in Denham.
