Further around from the Cape visitors can walk to a whale viewing platform. We did see some whales on the day. Probably Humpbacks as the information showed they are the type of whale that likes to breach the water and drop back into it again. Quite spectacular to see!!
Continuing through Dunsborough to the Cape Naturaliste area which is the northern end of the 'Cape to Cape' (Leeuwin in the south) 100km walking trail. We thought about doing it - for a millisecond...Here is the lighthouse at the Cape Naturaliste...
At Dunsborough we visited the lovely Meelup Beach which is normally full of people during the tourist season and school holidays. Lovely spot for a picnic lunch. We thought so anyway!!
About 50km south of Bunbury brings one to the tourist areas of Busselton and Dunsborough, two very popular seaside towns with beautiful beaches and very blue skies. This shot is of the Busselton Pier which is the longest in WA at nearly 2km!! Amazing...
From the lookout in town looking north towards the port area of Bunbury...
We left Perth and headed south to Bunbury. It is a modern, pretty town of about 35,000 people. A nice atmosphere about the town and lots of work being generated by Alumina production and the busy port area. Access to the famous South West area of WA is via Bunbury which also services the smaller communities in the region.
