25 Oct 2012 - Day 7: Shark Bay Eagle Bluff and Little Lagoon

We woke up early today to start a long drive to Geraldton.  After checking out from Oceanside Village, we went to a nearby super mart to stock our supply of dried food.
Before leaving Shark Bay World Heritage region, we went to Eagle Bluff lookout and had a superb view of the surrounding.
The boardwalk here provides an excellent vantage point from which to view some of Shark Bay's unique World Heritage features.  Shark Bay has the biggest seagrass meadows in the world, a key reason for World Heritage listing.  We were able to look at the seagrass in deeper water where its darker colour distinguishes it from sandy areas.  Endangered animal species are another World Heritage treasure, eg. dugong feeding on seagrass just offshore.  We did not see any dugong but we spotted a few stingrays.
Then we passed by a lagoon before heading out from the World Heritage drive.
