Sunday 25th July 2004 - Day 315/365 - Denham, Western Australia to Northampton, Western Australia.
 
Off to see the dolphins at Monkey Mia in the morning.  For many years the Dolphins have been following the fishing boats into the beach, in the knowledge that there is a feed on the way.  They still come in now, but it's become more of a tourist attraction. 

On the way back we stopped at Eagle Bluff for Shark and Ray spotting and then to the Stromatolites.  It's thanks to these "farty rocks" that our atmosphere is the way it is today.  Stromatolites have been on earth since the start of time and are responsible for creating oxygen in the air that we breathe and to that extent created the world as we know it today.  The role of Stromatolites has been taken over by trees and photosynthesis and it's rare to see living examples nowadays.  They're are pretty unremarkable to look at, but it's amazing when you think about them.

We started the trek south towards and stayed overnight in a farmstay in Northampton.  Kangaroo curry.  Yum!
