    Cape leeuwin/Augusta

    September 2, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Great drive down today, unfortunately the lighthouse is under renovation but we were still able to walk around, a very interesting history and area. I was great to standing on the farthest western and southern part of this beautiful country.
    This is where the Cape Leeuwin to Cape Nationaliste starts, there is a walking track the whole way and takes about 7 days to complete (starting from either end).

    A nice morning coffee and cake in the visitors building to replenish our energies.

    Walked around Augusta township, it is a very interesting little place the locals were friendly and there was a great bakery just heading out of town.

    Off to Hamlyn bay to try and spot the stingrays, no luck as a little overcast today.

    Took the drive through the Boranup Karri Forrest, beautiful trees and extremely tall, a fire has been through recently but at least all the plants have started regenerating, worth the drive.

    Caught up for dinner and drinks with some travel friends we met a month ago in Derby.
