Dolphins and Didgeridoos

What a day!  Up at 7am to see the dolphins and this time, bingo. They came up really close to the shore, as they have apparently been doing every morning for the last x years. There were a lot of spectators and a guide with a microphone, which gave it a bit of an "aquarium show" feeling.  But it was still amazing to see wild dolphins so close up.  

After breakfast, we boarded the "Shotover"catamaran for a sailing and wildlife spotting excursion around Shark Bay.  We saw more dolphins plus cormorants, gannets and a loggerhead turtle. The trip was worth it just for the sailing, let alone all the wonderful sights. 

We rounded off the day with dinner and a show: a great guitarist and didgeridoo player called Fingers Mitchell Cullen, playing an interesting mix of folk and slide guitar and a triple set of didgeridoos. 

A pelican. Better late than never.
