Day 66 Wednesday 17th August
Today we travelled from Wooramel Station to Denham(Shark Bay) as we will be visiting Monkey Mia tomorrow. We are lucky to be travelling when the famous Western Australian wildflowers are starting to flower. We have been treated to a huge aray of different flowers, various shapes, sizes and colours all the way down to Denham. We stopped off at Hamelin Pool to see the world famous &Stomatolites&, similar to the earliest forms of lifeand dating back 3,000 million years. An excellent walkway out over the water, with interpretive signs helped give us a better understanding as to the significance of these microbes that build stromatolites. We also walked over Shell Beach, a beach completely made of tiny shells, no sand. After arriving in Denham and having lunch we went for a drive out to several lookout areas. Unfortunately our luck with the fantastic weather we have had, ran out today. It has been very windy and we've had squalls with rain go through during the afternoon.
