HOMEWARD BOUND

In the past 5 weeks we have travelled over 6,500 km from Cape Leveque to Cape Leeuwin, along Australia's west coast.

On Gav's birthday we were camped under the Cape Leveque lighthouse in sunny 30 degree temperatures. Enjoying many cultural experiences with the Bardi Jawi people around the One Arm Point community.

Last week we were standing at Cape Leeuwin lighthouse on a windy 16 degree day. We did the lighthouse tour, climbing to the top of WAs tallest lighthouse ( however only the boys ventured out onto the balcony to view the meeting waters of the Indian and Southern Oceans).

On the way we have seen a lot of great stuff:
Iron ore mining, rail networks and shipping ports.
Gorges, coral reefs and wildflowers in numerous national parks.
Memorabilia of a NASA tracking station.
Spent a few days on a small 20,000 ha wheat farm.
AND even 4WDrove to Steep Point, the western most point of the mainland.

Anyway ... when we got to the southwest corner we had nowhere to go except east, so we are on our way home.
