Sunday 24th February
We headed inland for a few miles passing through National forests.

Further on the land became very flat and very dry.

As we headed back towards the coast we visited Lake Clifton which is inhabited by Thrombolites which look just like rounded rocks in the water. These are living structures built by micro organisms and are related to one of the earliest forms of life. It is said that their ancestors oxygenated the air on the Earth over 600 million years ago. The whole scene felt very primeval as we stood on our own looking across the water at them.

As we returned to the car we noticed a movement in the bush and saw that it was a wild kangaroo. We walked quietly towards it and watched it for several minutes.

We are presently staying for three nights in Bunbury and, after checking in, drove to the nearby 'Big Swamp', which is a large area of wetland in the centre of town.

We then  drove a short distance to the beach to watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean.
