Perth to Shark Bay



Rottnest Island





Whats for dinner?





How about lobster?






No Josh, quokka soccer has been banned















The Batavia Coast








The Batavia and other Dutch ships were wrecked on this coast 150 years before Cook - this is understandable as the wind never stops here.








And of course the Sydney lays off here









The Blounts visist another Australian Icon - the Pinnacles











I need a boat


How about we get one?
This is fast dad!













Natures window at Kalbarri












Shark Bay




Into the tropics and we were greeted by cyclone Pancho
















But it soon cleared up and we were away

















This is a world heritage area, home to:

















bilbies



















turtles and dugongs

















stromatolites

















plenty of shags

















Big tiger sharks like this 12 footer















and the best fishing yet

















pinkies






















blackies

















Cook this up please Craig

















We were lucky enough to meet the Butcharts (Wayne, Tania, Rachel and Monique)


































who took us exploring

















to the Peron Peninsula

















and Faure Island

















Captain Josh

















Goodbye beautiful Shark Bay


















Monkey Mia

















Monkey Mia - where man meets dolphin


and girl meets dolphin
