Thousands of Stromatolites
Stumpy "Our tour guide"

Very hot temperatures, beautiful crystal clear waters. No access to the water as the stromatolites are everywhere. Most tormenting.

And more stromatolites.
 
     
A late lunch before retiring to our backpackers accomodation to enjoy the cooling ocean breeze and a good book.
   
The next day we visited a place called Ocean World to check out the local fish and sting rays found in this region.
     
As well as the logger-head turtle and sea snakes.
     
And the SHARKS!!!
     

After seeing the Sharks and other marine life we headed off to check out a beach consisting entirely of shells, hence the name Shell Beach. The shells have been depositing for the past 6000years (Note: our reefs in Australia are only about 18,000 years old). In some areas the shell deposit is over 1 km wide and 8 to 10 metres thick. (Note for future...... wear shoes!!!)

     

Our final stop was Eagle Bluff. The name sounded cool and the place did not dissapoint. A long winding boardwalk that hung over the edge of the sandy cliffs. We saw plenty of reef sharks and rays and well as a large school of fish.

     
 
Where the desert meets the sea.... that WA!
 
     

Then on our way home!
