A highlight of our trip to the south-west corner of Western Australia, Hamelin Bay abounds with nature and meeting a stingray up close, was an experience I will never forget
I couldn’t believe that I could be a metre away from a wild stingray. As I splashed in the shallows of Hamelin Bay, it seemed to come towards me on each wave breaking on the shore.
