THURSDAY 17TH JULY 2014 DENHAM

Lots of pink and yellow wild flowers on our way the Hamelin Pool Shark Bay.  Stromatolites, amazing, living organism.  Had lunch at Shell Bay, The most amazing beach here all made up of these tiny Fragum cockle shells and a great expanse of beach before getting to the water, low tide. They use to mine the shells to make bricks from them for building.
