Day 44 Snubfin Dolphins

The first thing we did this morning was check out a water park/playground next to Broomes' main beach. Ryley was the only one who decided to get wet in the water park because he was the only one willing to sacrifice his shorts. We hadn't brought towels or changes of clothes.
After Ryley had finished entertaining us we checked out the Pioneer Cemetery. We were going to go down to walk in the water along the beach but we read a sign saying that crocodiles has been sighted in the area, so we decided not to.
Next we went shopping for some more supplies. After shopping we returned back to the caravan park to go for another swim in the pool and have lunch.
Following lunch we walked back to the front of the caravan park to wait for the snubfin dolphin tour bus. On the bus the driver was telling us that they hadn't seen any snubfin dolphins for the last few days so we all had low expectations of the tour. The tour was held on a catamaran, a bit smaller than the one we went snorkelling off on the whale shark tour. To get to the catamaran we took the repaired tender. This was not just any sort of tender, it had wheels and could be driven onto land for us to get in.
While we were out looking for snubfin dolphins we enjoyed some delicious snacks provided. Surprisingly we ended up seeing lots and lots of snubfin dolphins. They was so cute with their melon shaped heads and plasticine looking bodies. After we had finished looking at the snubfin dolphins we went looking for dugongs but sadly didn't find any.
The tour finished following a magnificent sunset. We returned to the caravan park which was now dark. Tomorrow we will be leaving Broome heading further north. We don't quite know where we are going to arrive next.Read more
