For the first time on this trip, Denise takes control of towing the caravan. She says it’s a little nerve racking but passes with flying colours. On the way to Denham, we call into Hamelin Pool which is at the southern extent of Shark Bay. Here is a collection of unique organisms called Stromatolites – the oldest known form of life on earth and one of the reasons for Shark Bay’s World Heritage listing. You can read more about here .

We only have 3 days here but the highlight for us was our visit to Monkey Mia where Denise was selected to feed one of the dolphins.

We also visit places such as shell beach but our main focus here is to relax and enjoy the pristine waters and environment, plus a spot of shell collecting which there are no shortage in this part of the world! On our last evening there, we take a bottle of wine, some nibbles, and watch the most stunning sunset we’ve seen together.

We reluctantly have to leave this paradise for a week’s stay in Carnarvon.
