Week Commencing 21.02.11
Monday 21.02.11 – Packed up said our goodbyes to Alex and Allyson and headed for Albany. On arrival we were greeted by Bev & Bernie and John & Judy, so looks like there will be a few happy hours this week.
Tuesday 22.02.11 – Today we went as a group and explored Torndirrup National Park. Here we found some very rugged coast and some interesting spots.
The Gap & Natural Bridge – Two natural features carved from ancient granite by the forces of nature. The Gap features a 25 metre sheer drop to the ocean.
We then had lunch at Frenchman Bay a very pretty place where locals come to swim and picnic.
Salmon Holes – Named after salmon looking for calm waters close to the beach. This was huge hike to the lookout. To get down to the beach you had to walk 176 steps and then of course you had to tackle them on the way back Fun! Another amazing place was Misery Beach, the rocks came down the mountain into the ocean.
Wednesday 23.02.11 – Not much happening today, clean up and catch up on the too hard basket.
Thursday 24.02.11 – Off exploring with the gang again today, John & I with Bev & Bernie (our car being serviced). We travel some 40kms to Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve. Little beach was spectacular , until we got down to the beach and we have never seen so many bluebottles, huge clumps of them would not like to be stung. We all climbed over the rocks it was awesome to see the ocean crashing against the rocks. Beautiful bays of clear water and the colour was fantastic.
Next stop Nanarup which we walked out some 300mtrs to the beach, lovely white sand, once again bluebottles. We enjoyed a great lunch here in the picnic area. After lunch we drove down to Gull Rock, here we go hiking through the bush to the lookout, well worth the effort. Last stop for the day took us to a beautiful beach – Ledger beach we all sat in the sun and wondered how lucky we all are to be seeing such great places. A fantastic day was had by all.
The weekend 26&27 February, I am a golf widow this week end, hoping John will do well at golf.
