Let me explain...


....what a great day looks like:
First....wake up to warm sunshine and gentle waves lapping the shore, just metres away.
Next....listen to an informative talk on dolphins while standing shin deep in water and watching 5 dolphins cruise by just a metre or 2 away.
Be one of only a handful of people selected to feed one of 3 dolphins a fish for breakfast.
Celebrate with a bowl of porridge which proves to be very interesting to the local emu mob.
Take a 3 1/2 hour 4WD out to the beach....dirt roads, bush tracks, beach driving.
Watch your husband get to live one of his dreams...making it to the western most point of Australia.
Set up camp right by the water...again.
Sit back and relax as the sun sets and a golden, just-off-full moon rises over the water.
Ahhhhhhh! Now that's my definition of a GREAT day.

Now here's that GREAT day in reverse....sorry!

The emus at Monkey Mia are ever-so friendly.

Ach! I am so jealous - not the changing the tyre bit, we'll leave that to Jon, but the other bits - the dolphins, the emus, the views, sliding down the sand dune and getting a faceful of sand ... so cool.
