We headed into Denham early, too early in fact as when we
arrived at 9am everything was well and truly closed. We had read about the
local emus but were pretty surprised when there were three of them wondering up
the main street, one in the middle of the road! After stuffing around for a
while we restocked and head for Monkey Mia, almost taking out an emu along the
way!
There was a common thred to the morning as when we were
backing into our site there were 4 emus there. It was quite funny as De’s job
is to hop out and give directions as I back it in. Usually she stands right
near the back of the van, but not today! To make things worse once we were
parked up De grabbed the loaf of bread from the truck, which we have learnt is
like a red rag to a bull as this is their favourite food and their
infinitesimally small brain seems to be able to recognise at least this one
thing!
We took the boat off and while the boys and I were waiting
for De to come back from dropping the truck off Jack noticed an ‘old bloke’
with a Western Force hat on and he suggested that I should check with him to
see if he knows if the resort bar has fox and if it will be showing this
afternoons Reds game. Vince was cleaning his impressive days catch and when
asked about the bar immediately volunteered his TV and caravan for us to use to
watch the game as he has fox! It was like winning a big win on the scratchies!
We took the boat along the coast for about 5kms passing the
local pearl farm dragging the boat up and going for a walk along the beach.
Very soon we noticed heaps of small sharks and rays that were sitting in the
water 1 – 2m of shore. It was pretty cool as they would swim along just in
front of you thinking they were getting away..when in fact we had 0% chance of
getting near them!
We motored back in time to prepare some nibblies and head
over to Vince’s. Here we were looking over one of the world’s best beaches
watching the Reds...please don’t pinch me. The game was great as the Reds got
up and I even managed to keep my cheering to a dull roar! Vince also provided
us with some home grown olives that were absolutely delicious!!
