Last Day in Denham

Friday 5th June
While out in the main street of Denahm today I discovered the real Road Runner (see picture), an Emu, which strutted down the middle of main street as if he owned the place, followed closely by another baby Emu. In total there are four Emu's that regularly frequent the main street of Denham for the entertainment of tourists.
After a somewhat leisurely start to the day we call in at the Shark Bay Discovery Centre. This centre has a fantastic display showing everything from the local history through to endangered species. The kids got a worksheet which kept them busy for a long time. The history of Shark Bay was particularly interesting.
After we finished in centre it was high time to feed the kids and then head out to our next destination, the Francois Peron Homestead just a few km's out of Denham.
The homestead was great but the highlight was the artisan bore which brings up water from 540mt at a temperature of 44°C. The warm water flows into a hot tub (see photo) which we had all to ourselves for the hour we spent there - very nice.
After the homestead we went back to the caravan and I went down to the jetty for a spot of fishing. As always, the fish nibbled the bait of the hook but didn't really bite. A Blowfish and a Black Brim, both very small, got themselves hooked and were pulled out but released very quickly.
Once the sun set the breeze got a little bit fresh and it was time to call it a day and get ready for our departure and trip to Coral Bay tomorrow.
