After spending five days at Monkey Mia, the novelty of the dolphins seems to have worn off. Part of it is that it is such a great place that you don't have to do a formal 'dolphin experience' to see them. Just a regular swim at the beach and the chances are pretty high that dolphins will come in and swim around you and herd fish in the shallows.
But I don't think I'll ever suffer from that affliction - I love getting close and think I've seen something special every time a dolphin surfaces. Yesterday morning Dylan, Lukas and I were on the beach playing and the dolphins came in for a 'feed' (yes - they do give them small amounts of fish - philosophical arguments aside, it is a great experience). The boys didn't want to leave their boogie-board-fishing-game so it was just me who wandered up to see them up close and feed one.
We're going to try and head North from Monkey Mia today and see how we go. We've run out of cash and there's no eftpos or ATMs working here and the food supplies are getting pretty low. So we'll see how we go - I suspect any notion of healthy eating will go out the window for a while as we live off roadhouse supplies!
