		<description><![CDATA[On the way from Cape Range to Karijini we drove though a lot of spinifex country and saw a number of dragons dashing off the road as we went by. We stopped and tracked one down to find it was a ring-tailed dragon (Ctenophorus caudicinctus).

Still in Shark Bay, we had to go and see the famous Monkey Mia dolphins.




Dean wanted to get some sunrise shots. It&#8217;s not often that Western Australians can see a sunrise over the sea. The place was very touristy, which is to be expected of a tourist attraction. We saw some dolphins waiting to [...]]]></description>

Rottnest is famous for many things, but none more so than its quokkas (Setonix brachyurus)

Before she left she wanted one last look at the gorgeous tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) one can find here in Western Australia, so we all headed down to a nearby lake to try our luck.

It was an exceedingly hot day, but that unfortunately didn&#8217;t deter the crowds. We headed to the nocturnal house (as did a noisy group of teenagers) to see the ghost bats being fed. I&#8217;ve never seen [...]]]></description>
