Dolphins, stingrays, pelicans, and aggressive crabs

After another 400 km, we arrived in Monkey Mia and decided to stay here for two days. Monkey Mia has a beautiful beach and a great resort where we slept on a campsite. Monkey Mia was one of our main destinations as you are supposed to be able to see dolphins here on the beach. Just as we sit down on the beach on the first evening, Mike says 'can't dolphins just come now?' and behold, there are dolphins in the water! As you can see in the pictures, the dolphins come very close to the shore. In the morning, the dolphins are fed by the rangers and tourists once again have the chance to experience the dolphins up close. It's completely unreal to see a dolphin just one meter away from you in the water. They even swam around Mike once. On the second evening, we discovered small stingrays in the water and observed pelicans. The stay here was very relaxed and tomorrow we can continue our journey leisurely. Our next destination: Ningaloo Reef (600 km away). Pictures will follow.
