Hamelin Pool, WA 6532

Monkey Mia is awesome for that fact. There are park rangers there that will feed the dolphins fish, but never enough for them to rely on it solely. We were fortunate enough to have the dolphins come right up to us as we were standing there, and rub against us. That was pretty cool - hence if you are ever up that far in WA, make the effort to go and visit Monkey Mia
