Before Tash, Todd and Jeremy headed back to Perth, we visited one of the many coffee shops in Denmark and enjoyed a nice hot coffee...Jeremy enjoyed his chips and coke, love Tasha's face.


After saying goodbye to the kids, Mandy, Gra, Pete and I went for a walk along the river...


...the mouth of the river and Wilson Inlet....


...reflections ...

In the evening we were invited to Mandy and Graeme's friend's home. Neil and Leanne cooked us a very hearty meal. I loved their old but newly recovered lounge suit and also their cute and very well behaved dog called Hugo.

Anvil Beach





Why it is called Anvil Beach...




An unbelievable beach...lots of reef with the water spilling over in little waterfalls...
