Tropic of Capricorn

It marks the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon, didn't you know?!

At Hamelin Pool

Living fossils

Stromatolites are rock-like structures built by bacteria; these ones at Hamelin Pool are 2-3000 years old, but are similar to life forms found on Earth up to 3.5 billion years ago! They provide a unique insight into what the world was like at the dawn of time. The lines you see are old wagon tracks from the 1800s.

And the famous stromatolites, part of the famous Shark Bay World Heritage Area, which also includes famous Monkey Mia dolphin resort!

Shell beach

One of only a handful of beaches in the world made entirely from shells!

Not sure how dangerous it was, but doesn't look too happy! It was on the side of the road.

Jubilee
Hi Michael and Fiona. Great to hear from you. Sounds like life is treating you well on your adventures. With all the wildlife photos perhaps you could do a spot on Springwatch. Another job suggestion Michael is to go on any remake of Baywatch (although you might need to ditch the snorkel). When you were in Bungarra did you go to any parties? If so did you see Silvio Berlusconi? Apparently he frequents there quite often. We're gearing up for the Jubilee weekend. Typically it's going to rain but shouldn't dampen everyone's spirits. Might even be some coverage down where you are. And then the Olympics - got some more tickets now so looking forward to that and of course there's the torch relay - excitement mounting in both Dorset and Basildon. Looking forward to hearing about the next stage of your travels. Keep well and speak soon.
