Days 62- 64, Thu 12 – Sat 14 Aug
So, apparently the name ‘Monkey Mia’ derives from the Indo / Malay name for ‘camp’ , and the fact that some pearlers or fisherman from the archipelago to the north had a pet monkey at their camp at Shark Bay. Cute story , neither of us know enough Bahasa to even begin to know if the ‘Mia’ premise offered is correct 🤔.
Anyway, two lovely sunny days , water quite cold for swimming and … dolphins . As well as numerous dolphins , pelicans, turtles and crows . Wind cold and blustery sometimes, missing the Tropics after the last six weeks.
Funny thing we observed was the dolphins and pelicans do not get on . Every time a Pelican was near a Dolphin the mammal harassed it.
Saturday we packed up and drove to Kalbarri.
