"Treat Tiger Sharks with great respect" it says on the information board just outside the internet cafe in Denham, where I'm posting this entry. As if anyone needs telling. Actually, we haven't seen one yet, but a bottle-nosed dolphin did surprise George while we snorkelling off the beach at Monkey Mia yesterday afternoon! It swam between him and me, though I didn't see it. George swallowed a great mouthful of saltwater in his surprise!
We joined up with george and maryam as planned in perth and we've driven here via Bagingarra, Billabong and Geraldton. People here on the mid west coast live life at a fairly slow pace, and it revolves around fishing, it seems. Also the night-life is limited. We went out to watch people catching squid on the jetty last night and, in doing so, seem to have missed a community "singing circle" that happened in the hall. A lady has just come in and said to the attendant here,
"There were 10 of us! And we sang mostly the old songs. Next week may have some dancing, too."
So you see, it may be worth us staying here a little longer.
Oh, by the way, I haven't forgotten about Uluru, but time presses.

hi both, Mam has spoken to Ruth today & they said was great having you both to stay, they're looking foreward to the European tour! Ruth said all the wildlife seems to flock to you. The 2 parcels have arrived in Mam's safely. Enjoy the rest of your tour, we'll see you soon, Take care, Glain Mark etc.
How could you? You should be ashamed of yourselves, missing a perfectly good night singing old songs, just to go & watch people Squid fishing(?). Its a shame you wont be there for the dancing next week. Never mind, we shall organise an all singing & dancing get together, to welcome you both back home.Don't know if you got my other message, but Mam asked me to let you know that both parcels have arrived safely. See you both soon, take care,
Thankyou Glain and Mark - I'm glad the parcels arrived safely. I think, on reflection, the squid fishing was a lot more exciting - especially when they (the squid) squirted a jet of ink up into the air as they were hauled up out of the water! Looking forward tyo seeing all of you again soon. Love M and F
