Denham

Tuesday 14th
We got an early start. I even had time for a run through the scrub! We stopped at the Overlander roadhouse for fuel and as Tim was taking all the boys to the toilet an Indian man working there in his accent said "you have a big team!" Tim had to get him to repeat it a couple of times before he knew what he was saying. We have had a lot of different reactions as we enter places!
So on to Monkey Mia but we got there a little too late for the feeding and the dolphins didn't come in again so we enjoyed the beach for a while.
That is Ethan, Josiah, Zane and Manning patting a Pelican who is trying to sleep. Manning tried to pat one but it opened it's big beak at him and Manning quickly jumped away!
There also was a turtle close but we couldn't see him very well as he was down the bottom on sea weed..
It was quite warm on the beach, maybe 26 C and we could see how it could get really hot. Also there were very friendly emus.
So we decided to go back to Denham and stay the night and come out early the next morning to see the dolphin feeding.
We got into a park that had a swimming pool, cold , not like Karcultaby! So we swam then walked down to the playground. In the main street the cars were going quite slow and we wondered why then we saw this young emu, teenager age, walking down the road. He didn't care about the cars or the people. Tim said he saw him try to get into the motel. Maybe he thought a room for the night might be nice!
This is us all trudging up the hill from the main street in Denham to our caravan park.
