While at the Visitors Centre we were informed about a Turtle Nesting Area that most people do not get to. We rekkied the area the night before and found nothing, so decided that we would all get up at first light and take a look. We were sadly disappointed at first, as there was no evidence of turtles coming up the beach to nest..then we saw them. only one or two at first, just in the shallows. So we followed with cameras in hand and were shown a display of mating that most wild life photographers would die for.
She was obviously an older lady, and the pheramones (not sure of spelling) were abundant as she had a total of 6 suiters. She entertained one gentleman whilst the other 5 swam around going aw-gee.....!!
She was beached a couple of times, and then finally the males left and she rested on the shore line before going back for another serve.
Now I have seen pictures of dolphins in waves but I have never seen anything like this. Bear in mind this was all going on within feet of us.
Now is that coital bliss.... or exhaustion!

Hi travellers. Good to see all is going well and you are having a good time. Good photos Steve and good fish Alison. We have been watching your epic adventure, but seem to have had trouble posting you comments. Hope this works this time. Have a good run on the downhill slide and see you soon back in perth.
Russ and Margy
