West Coast Journey Pics Part2

There were Emu's all overExmouth. And they are scavangers. A pack of about five stole my lunch of noodles, an apple and crackers as soon as I turned my back.
The pelicans at Monkey Mia Marine Park. They were amazing to watch and not afraid of us at all, making themselves quite comfortable in the sand next to Daniel. You can see how close we were to them.
The famous dolfins of Monkey Mia, they come right up onto the beach, and I got to feed one!
Prince Leonard of Hutt River Province. Bet you didn't know there was another country on the Australian continent. Well we went, and got our passports stamped of course. They have been an independant countyr for over 30 years now, and seperated originally over weat taxation disputes. They have their own currency, post office, liscence plates, and many citizens (it costs only 500$ to become one!).
Crammed into the back of that car on one of our last days. I have no idea how we all fit.

My first crocodile spotting....don't worry she's behind bars.
Met this baby kangaroo at a roadhouse. She was rescued when her mother was hit by a car, and will be released when she is old enough. I guess this is a regular thing for many outback Aussie's. You can buy roo milk at the grocery store in some places, just for this purpose.
Carla on the beach in Broome.
Karanjini National Park, after we climbed through Weano Gorge. By far the best day of the trip.
The wind in Coral Bay. It was nice to be back near the ocean, but the wind was ferocious, we could hardly fit in our tent at night, and woke up with nylon plastered to our faces, lovely.
