Carnarvon to Denham  and Monkey Mia  

After setting up in a Caravan park at Carnarvon.

With Banana Tree in the back of us. 

thought we were back in Queensland.

We went for a ride around town we noticed the trees are all leaning to one side.

we were  told they have real bad wind there. 

The next day we to see the train on the one mile jetty. As was told it is worth  a ride

so of we went . Arrived just in time to catch the train. The lady driver even told

 Pat to put my walker on. So of we go.  But must say it was so windy the train was rocking 

and rolling down the track.   

When we got to the end of the jetty Pat and the driver also one other lady got of for 5 min stop over. But  another lady and myself  stayed on. As we had a plastic wall to keep the wind of us.

Our train driver was happy to sit while Pat took some photos. 

Our driver said she has been doing this for 7 years and loves  it.

End of the jetty it is bad shape.

two fishing on the sand they looked so cold.

Pat took photo of a ship from the jetty

After our great train ride we went and had a cupper

Then  Pat wanted to go see some more trains.

We left Carnavon the next day to head to Denham 

But on the way we had to stop to take some photo of all the wild flowers out in bloom.

We arrived in Denham a bit late as to all the stopping we did on the way here . 

Denham is a very small town

Pat and I went to have a look in the Park pool.

Putting a foot  in I said it is COLD.

But must say it is a good looking pool.

Monkey Mia 

It is such a lovely  place the water is so blue and clear.

I manged with Pats help to take my walker down to the waters edge.

So as we could see the feeding  . 

This Dolphins

  came real close to us was so special. 

That has made one more tick that I have done of my dreams.   

The man kept looking at me. I so did want him to call me but I new

that seeing me sitting on a walker was no good.  

just wanted to sit a take it all in there was no rush to go . 

Last photo of Monkey Mia was Pat saw a Turtle real close 

So the end of a great time here.

On the way out of Denham we called into Shell Beach

  

But we did not stay long as the sand had come up and covered most of the very tiny shells.

of the Stromatolites.

They are said to be 70 Billion years old.

You were not  aloud to touch them or go in the water at all .

 They have put in a wooden walking platform to walk on around on.
