Joey & Sam @ Hamelin Bay. This beach is noted for the visitors that come in of an afternoon - stingrays....they come right up to the shore.
The main surf beach in the Margaret River area is Prevelly Park where competitions are held as part of the pro surfing circuit. Very nice beach with powerful waves.
Right down at the bottom corner of WA is where you will see this lighthouse. Many ships were wrecked off this coast where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean until the installation of this lighthouse which is the tallest in WA.
A safe swimming area for kids is the Blackwood River where it comes out at Augusta at the bottom end of the southwest. The Blackwood River is one of WA's perennial rivers.
All along the coast are grape vineyards. This one, the Vasse Felix (odd names) is apparently the oldest in the region...they all look quite expensive and well constructed with lovely gardens, ponds and the like...
Some more magnificent Karri Trees...
Along the southern end of this coastline is a beautiful Karri forest. Lee is in front of the 'Pixie Sign that some budding artist created....
The lovely Yallingup Beach....no words required....
A sample of the beautiful limestone colour found in Ngilgi Cave...
Sam having a top time doing the boy thing - crawling around the cave!!
Ngilgi Caves near Yallingup is where this shot was taken. All along this picturesque coast there are a variety of caves. This one was very interesting and Lee took some nice shots of the limestone formations (stalactites, stalagmites, & columns of various sizes and colours!!
One of the features of the SW Margaret River area - the chocolate factory. Another is Simmo's Ice Creamery...direct hit to the saddle bags!!
We have been 'leap-frogging' a nice family from Townsville. Ben & Wendy. Here are Bailey, Josh, Sam, Ollie, & Joey at Big Valley. They love the place...
Joey and one of the locals at Big Valley....
We arrived at Big Valley Campsite and it has been one of the highlights of the trip. A working sheep farm with fantastic views and great hosts - very friendly folks!!
