Day 75 - Monkey Mia

Jasper: Today we drove to Monkey Mia but on the way, we stopped at Hamelin Pool on Shark Bay and we saw living rocks called stromatelites.  These are micro organisms all joined together to make stumpy rock formations.  They are famous because they are 3.5 billion years old and are the oldest living thing on the planet. The caravan park at Monkey Mia is right on the beach and right near where the dolphins are fed.  We are seeing them being fed tomorrow morning.  I can't wait and hopefully I get picked to feed them.

They just look like rocks - you'd never know they were that old and that important!

Shark Bay is famous for it's shelly beaches.  At Hamelin Pool there is a quarry where
 they make shell bricks! Some of the buildings in the area are made of shell bricks.
