Perth

Last day - headed into Perth and Kings Park - fabulous collection of Australia Flora

Busselton

Stayed in Busselton near the jetty, but did whal watching in Dunsburh, which was excellent - whales everywhere!

Three humpbacks Humpback tail slapping This is what happens when 2 humpbacks come up right by the boatd and you have a long zoom lens on... Shearwater Fin slapping Shearwater in flight More tail slapping Castle Rock Its a long way off, but a humpback breaching! No rain but suddenly a rainbow appeared Sunset over the jetty The clouds don't look real! Baby seagulls - so even seagulls can look pretty at birth! The end of the jetty - 1.8km long Its a tough life - local scallops!

Across the South West

As weather was on the turn, decided to head a bit further north, via Denmark, The Valley of the Giants and Wilson National Park. Ended the day in Nannup.

Denmark Amazing flora The lovely Green Pool in Wilson NP No idea, but there were lots on the beach... The Green Pool The Elephant Rocks - you can see why they got their name Elephant Cove - it decided to chuck it down here.. The over-rated and expensive tree top walk in the Valley of the Giant Strange flora The excellent free, ground walk at the Valley of the Giants - giant Tingle trees Bases hollowed out by fungus and fire The river in Nannup Nannup Sunset
