DOLPHIN ENCOUNTER
Bottlenose dolphins are always smiling.
At Monkey Mia you'll be the one bearing a smile
upon meeting these clever mammals when they
come into shore for their daily feeds, only a stone's
throw away from your beachfront hotel. The
dolphins have frequented this same spot since the
1960s, when fishermen began sharing their catch.
UNTOUCHED NEW NORCIA
North of Perth is a tiny Benedictine community
called New Norcia, Australia's only monastic town.
Roman Catholic monks welcome passing
travellers with the same generosity their brethren
did before them. The past is unwavering, each
day the church chimes will ring and a century-old
oven will bake the same sourdough recipe.
