Shark Bay

Continuing farther up Australia's western coast, from Kalbarri we headed to the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. There, we found the world's largest stromatolite colony (plus this really cool fish in the picture)...


...and a Shell Beach that truly lived up to its name: miles of not sand but this:


At Eagle Bluff the turquoise water was stunning and if you look closely at the bottom of this picture, maybe you can see the manta ray that we saw.


I have no idea what the creature on this sign is supposed to be, but I love it and was glad we didn't run over any.


And then, we did the classic thing that almost all visitors to Shark Bay do: visit the Bottle-nosed dolphins at Monkey Mia. They do limited feedings each morning that draw select dolphins close to the shore. So fun to see!



The Monkey Mia resort also has emus prancing along...


...and these GORGEOUS pelicans.
