Shark Bay - Francois Peron National Park

We took our car and caravan 4WDing for the first time through Francois Peron National Park to our campsite at Gregories, where we stayed for 3 nights. And both the car and caravan went really well :)



This is a photo of our campsite at night...



We went to the tip of the peninsula - Cape Peron





We walked from Cape Peron to Skipjack Point. If you look carefully at the next pic you will see where the photos were taken from the lookout of the plentiful marine life below.



We visited Skipjack Point 4 times over our stay - spending over an hour each time searching for marine life and close opportunities for these memorable photos...

A stingray rising from the sand below and swimming in the shallow water.



The school of fish below was as thick as seaweed - then all of a sudden 3 reef shark disturbed them. On the attack, thousands of fish jumped out of the water.



The sharks continued to circle the fish, occasionally striking with an attack.



It is the Eagle Ray's mating season, and we were lucky enough to catch this one flying through the air - showing off!



A group of Eagle Rays swimming around.



A Green Turtle meandering past.



I did try to zoom in on the above photos so you can get a closer look... but they came up as the original photo was taken. See if you can zoom in or check my facebook profile!

We went to Monkey Mia to see the dolphins that come up onto the shore each day for a feed. Both the kids were chosen from the crowd to hand feed the dolphins...






It was an amazing experience and the resort has a great atmosphere... so we asked at reception for availability in the caravan sites and we were lucky enough to get 2 nights this close to Easter, due to a cancellation. YIPPEE!
So next destination Monkey Mia!!!
