So yeah, Monkey Mia was a bit of a circus but the dolphins there are incredibly friendly. Apparently it's where they do most of the world's research on dolphins plus a bunch of other marine creatures like dugongs. More blah on their web site. All very interesting, though when you're dropped off there at 7.30am and stranded there till 4pm it can get a bit dull, dolphins or no dolphins!
Oh by the way I swam with a bunch of sharks when I was in Coral Bay! There was this breeding ground, a bit of a walk along the beach. They were only reef sharks (harmless) so I whacked my snorkel mask on & got in there with them! Pretty cool experience, though cos the water was so shallow & sandy you could make out from above the water than in it. The area's called shark bay because of the Tiger Sharks that frequent the area, though not during Spring/Summer I'm told. Well, I am still in contact with all my limbs so I guess they can't have been that dangerous.
Oh yeah, it must be Guy Fawkes day back in the UK huh, so, umm, happy fireworking!
