I’ve been on a waiting list for Monkey Mia for aaaaages because we can only travel in school holidays and the RAC park books out literally a year or more ahead. I know we could stay somewhere else but if we are only going for a few days I want to be at the location where all the tourist stuff actually happens. I got notified two days ago they had a 2 night vacancy over Easter 2022 due to a cancellation. BAM! DONE!

We are going to do a week long visit over Bs birthday and plan to go perth – Cervantes – Kalbarri – monkey Mia – back down via Geraldton (TBC). I’ve already booked a nature catamaran cruise and a special surprise for Bs not-quite-40th birthday.

Dolphins!!!


After some ocean swimming and sunbathing. It was time for shore tours! Our first shore tour was guided snorkelling. The tour idea itself was quite good but unfortunately we got stuck with a selfish family of 24 who refused to be split. So instead of the usual 12, our group had 28 in it! Kinda ruined the fun. I did convince the manager to give us a partial refund despite their “no refunds” policy. The wrecks themselves were amazing, it was just the repeatedly getting kicked in the face that got old fast.
