Is anyone counting how many lighthouses I've took pictures of now. This maybe the last one though at Cape Naturaliste.
Another beautiful sunset - we were just walking back to the camper van from a cliff top walk.
And on the drive back - eagle eye Elvis spotted Charles Drake here by the side of the road - I risked life and limb getting this picture may I say. I don't know what kind it is - but it looks brown so could it be the deadly brown snake? Perhaps Ben or Justine may know. A little poem for you:
A cup of tea, for a positive ID.
What a lovely view from our kitchen window, just what you want to see when you're having your morning cuppa!
The coast line on the west is very dramatic - gigantic rocks, caves and cliffs with lovely little coves and beaches nested in between. This is Dunsborough.
This is us having a rare treat at Vasse Felix - the first winery in the Margaret River area. We had just been for some free wine tastings and the old hunger pains started. The restaurant was very classy so we thought it was time for a treat.
This was 'Surfers Point', the waves are really big here, this is because we are very close to the most south-westerly point of Australia where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean.
Surfers and windsurfers doing their thang!
Another beautiful sunset, this time taken from the patio!
This was just down from the van - we were climbing all over these rocks until it got too dark, the coastline is amazing here.
The beaches aren't bad either!
This was taken at Green Pools, just outside of Denmark, check out that water!
The next day we headed inland to see some of the fantastic forested areas of the south west - but that has to be the subject for another blog wouldn't you say?
Ps Chinese detective work from Rusty Sandersfield has revealed that the previous cup of tea challenge - i.e. to authenticate the sheep story has turned up a mystery. The story is NOT true to Sunderland after all, although Rust reckons there is a story that would match Sutherland in Scotland! A cup of tea in a bone china cup with all the trimmings for some excellent work by Mr Sandersfield.

Just the way I like to start my morning....a thousand pictures of gorgeous natural beaches!!
My parents never paid for me to go to the pictures on a Saturday,one of our mates would pay and then open the side fire escape doors and we would sneak in...and no ...I didn't have any badges(we don't need no stinking badges..from some film I think) on my hand knitted fairisle jumper
Didge - the 'I don't need no stinking badges' quote was from the same film me and Jen (proper Inglish me man) both referred to in the last Blog - Blazing Saddles. Is that a co-incidence or what? Cinema fraud eh? I just feel sorry for the same mate who had to pay week in week out with the rest of you getting in for nowt.
Hodgie and Elvis - I love the picture of the footsteps in the sand. I know you know that we know it's a good one. Quality.
But what sort of holiday includes a trip to "Cape Naturaliste"? Pictures of Charles Drakes, yes, but no pictures of any Walter Mittys? Surely on Cape Naturaliste!
Picture 3, the lovely warm sunset...it took me a little while to realise it wasn't Keith doing his impression of those really twisted light fittings he loves so much!!
With regards the Snake question, turning to my vast knowledge on the subject of Australian Snakes, I would have to guess that it looks like....a brown one.
Cup-o-tea for moi?
