Driving towards Augusta to visit the Jewel Cave and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse.

From the lighthouse you can see two Oceans meet! The Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean.

Margaret River, WA - The caravan park

We were only going to stay a couple of days, however, as we had a few scheduled days up our sleeves and as there was plenty to see, we extended our stay to four days.

The caravan park was big and all ammenities were available. Quite a large number of caravaners were 'jobbing' their way around Australia.

The site fees were competitive ($28.00) per night for two people, although it was the first time we had to pay for Buddy ($3.00 per night).

Margaret River, WA - The journey

We were suppose to have a couple of nights at Walpole, but on seeing the place (eight shops on the side of the highway) and not one caravan in the park I selected, we decided to drive on to Margaret River. We arrived at 5:30pm and it was fairly dark. Got a guy in the adjacent caravan to reverse mine in after several really poor attempts on my part.

 

 Saw our first live Kangaroo at the side of the road. Just a little fellow, but a roo none the less.

We interrupted our drive between Denmark and Margaret River to call into the 'Giant tree0top walk' just outside Walpole. The walk was amazing as was the scenary.

 We will be here for three days and extend our stay in Mandura to get back on schedule for our arrival at Burns Beach.
