Today we drove south through the wonderful Karri forest in Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
Just as we were about to leave, this kookaburra posed for us on a tree stump.
As we headed towards Cape Leeuwin we saw reddish brown areas contrasting with the turquoise water. We found that this is caused by coral spawning.
We headed towards Cape Leeuwin lighthouse which was built on the most south westerly point of Australia. It is the place where the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean meet.
As we were looking out to sea we saw several dolphins fairly close into shore.
On our way back there were several taller grass trees by the side of the road.
This is Hamelin Bay which was our last port of call on this stretch of our journey and has become our favourite part of this coast.
We were here as the tide was coming in and sat on some big rocks watching the waves crash in and fill the pools behind them.
There were several oyster catchers around in the area where we were watching lots of small crabs foraging for food.

Fantastic photos - you should produce a coffee table book! The scenery and wildlife look superb - reminiscent of the Broadleas! As ever, really enjoying your blog. Glad you saw dolphin at last.
