Monkey Mia is on the West Coast of Australia situated in Shark Bay, a world heritage listed area, and I might add a very beautiful area of the world!! I got here on the Easyrider backpacker bus on a trip from Perth to Broome (www.easyrider.com.au which cost $615 and took 7 days altogether). However you could get here by local bus from Denham or try www.greyhound.com.au which have buses going all over Australia.

We attended ... ...sightings (even if they didn't the boat trip is still excellent).
All in all I would say if you want a guaranteed hands on experience then don't bother travelling all the way to Monkey Mia. However, for an all round relaxing and informative time, this can't be beaten. ...

Like most of my music collection, this CD has a story behind it. I bought a spoof martial arts film, "Kung Pow: Enter the fist" on a 3 DVD set, with the first "Austin Powers" film, and "Dude, Where's my Car?". Having watched "Dude..." I sat through the more
