An early start and back on the road. A quick lesson in Western Australia is that there is a lot of nothing between the various sites. The first stop of interest was Hamelin Pool at the south end of Shark Bay. Contained within the pool are stromatolites, supposedly the world's oldest organisms which are the result of primitive life forms that first existed about 3.5 billion years ago. Also the remains of an early telegraph station and a quarry where blocks of solidified shell deposits were used as materials for building construction.
Next up was Shell Beach. Millions of tiny white "coquina bivalve" seashells form a 60 km long beach aptly named Shell Beach.
After quickly passing through Denham we made a final push to Monkey Mia where we settled the next two days.
