Dunsborough, Meelup Beach, Cape Naturaliste,

G'day Mates,

I hear you thinking; "we've seen this title before" and yes you are right but, this is a totally different story as this is with Danny, the previous one was with Sheila, and now we did different things.

For instance, Meelup Beach, now the weather was very windy so then you get a total different ocean look;


Movie time;




At Cape Naturaliste we walked a short bit of the Cape to Cape trail, our walk is 7 k's return and went from the Lighthouse to Sugar Loaf Rock.

 The Cape to Cape walk itself is 140 kilometre and traverses along the ridge and beaches of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park following the coast from Cape Naturaliste, Dunsborough to Cape Leeuwin, Augusta.   



The walk takes in amazing views of sea and landscapes including wildflowers in spring and the stunning Indian Ocean.



What are they looking for?




Something is hiding under a rock....better leave it Danny as Australia isn't the country to grab under rocks.....





Was he bitten....?


Of course we had our lunch with us....


Ever heard of a Moaning Frog?


This one is singing, the one what was hiding in the ground in the outside shower of our holiday house, was moaning whole night and keeping Danny awake because his bedroom was next to it. Crikey, what a noise they make! 

The moaning frog is native to the coast of south-western Western Australia. It inhabits sandy swamps, where it burrows for protection from predators.
 The males call from under the ground....

 Look at the little bastard, they are soo small you wouldn't believe the noise they produce!



Being in the south, Busselton and especially the Jetty, is always on the "to do" list....





The, in the mean time our favourite; "Dunsborough to Meelup Beach track....


and our favourite lunch spot.....



Suddenly we saw something beautiful in the sky....


where the sun was shining through the clouds a whole spectacle of colours appeared.... 


Isn't it a nice picture to end with.....

see you soon...

Cheers

A beautiful day near Dunsborough, Ngilgi Cave

G'day Mates,

I just have a little bit time to spend on my blog as it is 25 th of April, Anzac Day and so the boys (hubby and son Danny) are to the march in Perth.

We also get our friends to eat tonight so I spent most of my time in the kitchen, cooking a "Dutch" meal for 6 persons.

Anyhow, here I am and lets go to Dunsborough again, that time still with Sheila......



Here we stopped at Meelup beach, warning for sharks is not unnecessary as they are every where! 


A group with carers and lightly disabled people had build some sort of a raft from hollow pipes with a seat on it.....




it really worked......



After Meelup beach we continued our way to the lighthouse on Cape Naturaliste.....


But before that we made a detour to Sugarloaf Rock.....


Here we stopped to have a good look at mother natures treasures.....




Thanks Sheila for the nice picture.....


And then we did our walk from the lighthouse to the Whale Outlook, remember we were there few months ago in the Whale season and we got lost?.......

Never disregard a warning....



All with a good mood.....





We reached the platform ......


and of course we had our lunch with us.....


Enjoying the view we had a very strange experience; while sitting there a black sky appeared left from us and it looked that severe we thought we might have to run for our lives but strangely it just lapsed in front of us to the right and you could see rain coming out over the sea. 

Not only was the sight of the mystery amazing but also it went dead quiet and misty with in the distance the silhouette of a few ships......brrrr it felt like a thriller movie. 


After this adventure we stopped on our way back at the Ngilgi Cave (previously known us Yallingup Cave)
My hubby doesn't like caves so Sheila and I went with the two of us and I must say, it was amazing!! 

The guide leads you to a certain platform and from there you can discover the cave on your own pace and no, you can't get lost. 



Crikey no, Sheila didn't faint but we were told, if you lie down on your back with you eyes closed for about a minute, then look up at the ceiling......


... it looks like you are looking on top of a big forest with giant pine trees, or some have the imagination of a big city with skyscrapers. I had the forest view.  


The cave is just great, come and have a look......








These pictures are beautiful but you can imagine you never get the same feeling as being there for real.....




If you want to know more about this cave, just go to;

In the Margaret River region are more beautiful caves to visit....

I hope you enjoyed it again, see you soon!

Cheers!
