Banksia

 Looking to Cape Le Grand

 Nice pink Bottle brushes

 This pretty flower set looks like an arrangement of candles

Banksia bud

Tiny little flowers

 More of the WA Christmas tree

They start off yellow and go bright orange as the flower matures

The bees are swarming around them

very strong nectar smell

This beatle seems to love the nectar

 Hellfire Beach gets its name from St.Elmo's fire

 the waves can sweep you off these dangerous rocks

the whistling rock

if you stand in the right place the rock works like a sound amplifier

 Lucky Bay

 The residents are used to people

they seem to like something in the washed up seaweed

Rossiter Bay

Maybe a relation of the Lady Bug

Flowers on Mississippi Hill

 Rossiter Beach is very soft deep sand
