stand alone.

This great jumping pillow is a funny entertainment for young and old at this
caravan park.

in the salt granules and provides a rich source of Beta Carotene.

Turtle nesting unique experience (Jurabi Coastal Park WA - 03/11)

On the way to spot a nesting turtle:

Waiting....:

Bag checker visit :

@ sunset, one came out of the water and we waited as long as she found a place to nest before visiting her. We waited that she layed her eggs before any picture, of course:

She is now covering her eggs by throwing sand behind her:

It takes a long time (around 3 hours since the left the water):

We are getting to tired, we cannot wait for you to reach the sea again, thanks for the show darling, bye!!

Mildura Wreck (North West Cape-Ningaloo Marine Park WA - 03/11)

This is cattle boat wrecked by a cyclone in 1907.

Unfortunately, we don't have a waterproof camera... the pictures are in our
head: colourful fishes, reef sharks, stingray, swimming with a turtle...
great!!!
