We celebrated another birthday today at golf, this time it was Sue's.

 

I so enjoyed being back at golf, had a very enjoyable game today and afterwards we celebrated our captain Jan's 70th birthday.

 

 Yallingup Beach...on our final day, our last swim....

 

Unlike yesterday there was a huge swell....

 

On our way home I took this photo of the famous Dunsborough Bakery.  After a rather eventful drive home dodging bushfires we went to Ash and Jo's home for a very pleasant ddinner with Todd, Tash, Brad and Nerida  to catch up and to celebrate Tasha's birthday. 

 

My Saturday morning swim was at Yallingup this morning. Surprisingly, there was no swell and with little breeze the water was very calm.

 

After the Yallingup swim, we decided to go for a look at Sugarloaf Rock.  A trip down south isn't the same without a visit to Sugarloaf. Pete and I climbed down the northern side of the look out, something we hadn't done before and were rewarded with a rather different and more rugged view of the rock.

 

We couldn't believe how calm the ocean was and for the first time we went for a swim in the sheltered rock pools in front of the rock. It was sensational.

 

Dramatic views using my zoom.

 

 

Later in the day , we swam at Picquet  Beach, the water was still clear and calm.

 

Ended the day with a relaxing wine with Chris and Juliet at their place.

 

This is Gnoocardup Beach....Pete and I walked part of the Cape to Cape.

 

Our own private beach, with some decent little waves to catch and crystal clear water. That's Cape Mentelle in the distance.

 

Further on...

 

Three natural springs dripping water onto the sand...

 

Our destination..  ....Joey's Nose , a prominant boxy limestone rock extending out over Kilcamup Beach. The cliff looks a bit like a Joey's nose....

 

 

In the afternoon we went for a bike ride along the foreshore all the way from the National Park at the end of Old Dunsborough to the new bridge that has been built over Toby's Inlet in Quindalup. 

Every day that we have been walking I have told Pete to "Watch out for the snakes". Today we finally saw one, on the bike path. We think it was a dugite. They give me the creeps.

 

A quiet day today, the weather was a little cool. Pete and I  drove to Torpedo Rocks and watched the waves.

 

Sadly Michelle and Kevin had to go home today, we have had such a great time. As I said to Michelle, you know you are good friends when even though you haven't seen each other in years, you feel like you have never been apart. We stopped at the Busselton Jetty on the drive back to Perth, it was so windy, we didn't stop for long.

 

After saying goodbye to our dear friends, Pete and I headed back down to Dunsborough for another four days. Not often you see a camel in a cart! 

 

Just the two of us now....enjoyed an evening stroll along the foreshore.
