Monkey Mia

Oh yeh... we also visited Monkey Mia this morning. Have you ever wondered about this experience from the Dolphins’ perspective? “Hey kids, make sure you get your bags packed – we’re going out to see some humans this morning! They line up in freezing cold water and occasionally throw us some fish – I wonder if they know how good they are to eat? You see all different shapes and sizes, and colours too. I’m not sure what makes them undertake this ritual – could be part of their mating rites, or maybe a family ritual.”
I have to say that standing ankle deep in sea water for half an hour in order to see a handful of dolphins fed some fish is not one of my “must-see” experiences. Having seen dolphins in the wild, this seems so artificial – as well as foot-numbing. The setting, however, was spectacular, along with much of the western coastline.
