Sandboarding is great fun
After the Pinnacles we drove to the beach, to the white dunes where we got some boards that reminded me of my snowboard at home. First we had to suffer because we had to climb up the dune but then it was a lot of fun riding down on the sand boards. You can sit or stand on the board, every technic is fine when you do sandboarding.

Life is sweet at Taffys
A visit at Taffys.

Got a lift to the natural bridge
Yesterday, I spent the whole day on a bus from Bunbury to Albany. Today, I started the day with a stroll from Albany to Middleton Beach and Emu Point. In the afternoon I continued in the opposite direction to see a natural bridge and a natural gap.

Walking the Tree Top Walk
In and around Walpole there are lots of very high kauri trees and because the Australians like adventures, they built a walkway into the tree tops of those high trees. You can experience what the forest looks like from 40 meters above.

That is what I call a good view
And again lots of high trees, however this time you can climb the highest tree (Gloustertree) yourself. They drilled some iron bars in the trunk of the tree and like climbing up a staircase you can make your way up to the top and stand on a platform, 61 meters off the ground! There is no security net or anything to hold you in case you slip, so your legs might get a bit shaky on the way up and down but the view from the top is awesome. The perfect place for a tree house! If it just wasn't such a long way down...
08/11/2004 – Augusta
Where two oceans meet
To cut a long story short: a mainroad and a lighthouse. Augusta is the place where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean but you can't really tell the difference between one or the other.
09/11/2004 – Margaret River
Only time for a short stroll
No time to go on a wine tour around Margaret River. Unfortunately the wheater is bad as well, otherwise I would have booked a kajak tour.
