Monkey Mia

Famous for the dolphins that visit every morning to be fed by the park staff and likely members of the public, we arrived too late as they had already been fed, but decided to go in anyway as it was a 1.5 hour drive to get there and there was little else to do.

Glad we did as it is a very beautiful place. We went for a short stroll down the beach away from the main resort to see what we could see, and low and behold we were treated to a fabulous display by a mother and her calf who zoomed up and down the beach no more than 2m from where we were paddling in the shallows.

Stupidly I had left my DSLR in the car but Jools got some great photos on her phone.

It was a special moment we were alone on that part of the beach and the mother was obviously showing her calf off to us

As an added bonus there was a very cooperative Pelican who posed for photos for all-comers for about half an hour.
