Monkey Mia

Unusual place with unusual name. Mia relates to an aboriginal term for place and monkey to pets kept by Malay divers in the bad old colonial days of pearl fishing. Nowadays dolphins come into this beautiful bay to socialise with people and take early morning fish snacks, as strictly controlled by rangers due to this being a World Heritage Area and the dolphins otherwise wild. It was lovely to have 4 or 5 dolphins just meters away when we took a dip to cool off in later in the day.
