Augusta and Hamelin, Western Australia

Still based at Margaret River but MrD hired a car and we went down the road to Augusta, where we stopped for refreshments before driving to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. We paid 17 Aus$ for a guided walk which included going up (and down) 187 steps, but the view was amazing! This is where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean which makes for very interesting crashing waves. The lighthouse has a very interesting history too ... Today's blip is the meeting of the oceans viewed from the viewing point near the lighthouse.

On our way back to Margaret River we stopped at Hamelin Beach, again white sand, deep blue sky and sea, it's also pleasantly warm!

Hope your weekend is going well .....x
