Cape Leeuwin and the south western tip
The day starts with a trip to the west coast
a rugged coast and the weather is unstable
We visit Xanadu estate
interesting colour, must be living on red wine!
nice gardens
we come across this
Lawrence estaste
black cockatoos at the Steve Erwin memorial
Fountain
there is the fountain , can't miss it from the road.
they are practising for a wedding
as seen from the main building and restaurant
a funny place to store the empty glasses
up in the chandelier!
the tasting room
no free tasting, no shopping then
from the entrance, it looks good
we move to a place down the road
this is a hint, it is displayed on the winelabels!
the stream
there it is
Brookland Valley Wines
2009 top of the winners
superb wines, we do not leave empty handed
next day down to the southern ocean for a day trip
The Pacific Gull
a big bird like the NZ Black back Gull
except it has a red tipped bill.
we take the scenic route to Cape Leeuwin
the tallest Lighthouse on Australias mainland
sometimes you need to climb up a bit
This is from the indian ocean side
the desert meets the ocean
rugged
then there is the waterwheel, needing some maintenance.
The Lighthouse and the associated buildings
interesting tourist or is it a pirate waiting to invade
Hamelin bay a sheltered spot for fishing boats
nice beach and interesting clouds
on the caves road is the big Karri forrest
The mouth of the Margaret River
there is no water flowing into the ocean due to the dry season
only found close to the southern ocean
