Monkey Mia Resort
At this remarkable resort, situated near the town of Denham
about 525 miles (830km) north of Perth in the Shark Bay Heritage
area, visitors have the opportunity to interact and hand-feed the
local wild dolphins who visit the shore each day. Several
bottlenose dolphins regularly visit the beach at Monkey Mia,
sometimes up to three times a day, while others who are less tame
wait just offshore. Visitors are encouraged to enter the water to
gently touch and feed the dolphins, under the watchful eye of local
rangers who advise on how best to approach and handle the animals
without causing them stress. Monkey Mia also has a Dolphin
Information Centre, and offers good bathing at Shell Beach, unique
in that it has a four-mile (6km) stretch of tiny white shells
stacked up to 33ft (10m) deep. Some of the buildings in the nearby
seaside town of Denham are built out of shells from this beach.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
Opening Times
Dolphin Information Centre open daily, usually from
9am
