Turquoise Coast WA

Another cracking WA day!

This morning we ticked off the second of our ‘swim with’ experiences - Sea Lions!

A short jet boat ride from Cervantes wharf and we were snorkelling with a bunch of super friendly bubble-loving sea lions who seemed quite happy to share their natural environment, playfully performing for us both in and out of the water.

Back at the wharf we indulged in our much anticipated lunch at the famed Lobster Shack. We even splurged to try abalone for the first (and last) time - an expensive taste of disappointment. The lobster and prawns on the other hand were amazing.

Moving on, we checked out the Stromatolites at Lake Thetis. Apparently these rock-like formations are the oldest lifeforms on our planet and played an important role in the history of the earth by contributing oxygen to the atmosphere. You can see tiny bubbles on the surface of the lake from the living Stromatolites. Pretty cool.

But the highlight of the day was definitely the lunar-like Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. These tall limestone spires are definitely one of the most unique and fascinating landscapes we’ve seen. We felt transported to another world as we drove the 4 km loop through the yellow dessert sands. And we timed it all perfectly to coincide with a beautiful west cost sunset.Okumaya devam et
