Living rocks on the way to Monkey Mia
We travelled from Kalbarri to Monkey Mia today where we - and 1.000 other tourists - will feed the dolphins tomorrow. The trip was rather unspectacular and though two kangarros crossed our path we thankfully didn't come close to hitting any today. My personal higlight was seeing the Stromatolites - 3.5 billion years old organisms that are "living rocks".
The girls found it a bit hard to share my enthusiams but I found it pretty cool to see the worlds oldest living species. After all it was these single-celled organisms that, over the course of two billon years, raised the oxygen level so that more complex forms of live could evolve.
Aside from that the trip was pretty uneventful. Tough we did have an argument about playig Justin Timberlake for the n-th time, Sarah forgot my lunchbox in the fridge in Kibarra (which we discovered in Monkey Mia) and I do start to find Esther more and more attractive. And I'm not sure whether that's a good idea.
