After visiting the Natural Brigde in Kalbarri, see some of the photos in James&#8217;s pervious post, we stopped at Chinaman&#8217;s Rock to take a few photos of some big waves. Have a look at the photos below.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling to Denham, from Kalbarri yesterday, we stopped at the Hamelin Pool, once we entered the World Heratiage Area of Shark Bay, to have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sharkbay.org\/stromatolites.aspx\">Stromatolites<\/a>. We saw some in Cervantes, in Lake Thetis, but nothing like the ones in the Hamelin Pool.<\/p>\n<p>We continued on to Denham and our caravan site for the next few nights which has a great view over the Indian Ocean. I have also posted a few photos just to make you jealous.<\/p>\n<p>Today we visited an Ocean Aquarium and saw some interesting fish, including an injured Loggerhaed Turtle called Bob, all of which can be found around Shark Bay. This was great for our snorkelling\/4WD trip to the Big Lagoon in the Francois Peron National Park later in the afternoon as we saw some of the fish, and a large turtle, that we had seen earlier at the Aquarium.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back to our caravan we stopped to have a closer look at one of the huge windmills in the Denham Winddfarm. They provide power to Denham and the kids were ammazed at the noise that they made when spinning.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow we are heading to Monkey Mia to see the famous wild Dolphins, hopefully the kids will get a chance to feed them. Anyway, check out the photos and we will update the site again soon.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTom.<br \/>\n<div class='polaroid-gallery galleryid-308' style='width:510px;'>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tkjm.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Surfs-up-at-Chinamans-Rock.jpg\" title=\"Surfs up at Chinaman&#8217;s Rock!\" rel=\"polaroid_81497267\" class=\"polaroid-gallery-item showcaption\"><span class=\"polaroid-gallery-image\" title=\"Surfs up at Chinaman&#8217;s Rock!\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/blog.tkjm.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Surfs-up-at-Chinamans-Rock-150x150.jpg);
