Oddly enough, Shark Bay is better known for its dolphins than its sharks. This is the place where folk on boats used to feed the dolphins with fish when they came around their vessels, and this has developed into a managed tourism industry — managed to make sure that the animals are fed properly and not too much.

Birdwatching…Pied Cormorants
