Raindrops on our lake at the golf course...


Two of my dearest friends at the club...Jane and Barb.

Cathy and I enjoyed a peaceful walk around Lake Monger...her first.


I used to love The Seekers, so I thoroughly enjoyed this musical.

Walking from my house to City Beach...

On our way home now, but I wanted a photo of the very green pastures down in Margaret River.


We stopped in Dunsborough to visit Brad and Nerida and meet their beautiful daughter Harriet, such a cutie!

Peter on the 10 mile Brook Dam, a new dam built in the 1990s to create a new supply of water for the growing township of Margaret River.


Nearby is the 10 Mile Brook Trail which runs alongside the Margaret River.


We started following one trail which led to the above...a flooded Margaret River. We went back to the beginning of the trail and found the winter loop, which was still rather wet and full of puddles but passable.


Ever now and again we would get really pretty glimpses of the river.



The forest was full of blackbutt, jarrah and marri trees.



Sat the iPhone on a log...


The main road through Margaret River...


Views from Surfers Point at sunset...

Today we went exploring the beaches around Cape Freycinet...so beautiful.


There were several springs coming from the rocks down to the beach...lots of green vegetation .


Amazing and enormous rock formations and again huge swell and winds.




Taking a decent selfie isn't easy but when it is very windy , it's even more difficult. But I thought we looked happy.


Then we walked around to Contos Beach, a beach surrounded by huge limestone cliffs.


In this photo, we are now on top of Contos Beach with a view down to the beach and Cape Freycinet. This was taken on the Cape to Cape track.


Then the rain came, we were drenched, but it was worth it.

Beautiful Boranup forest, always a pleasure to visit..


I loved this sculpture at the Boranup Gallery where we stopped for a coffee...



Redgate Beach, wild and windy today, but still spectacular.


Pete and I walked along the beach and granite and were mesmerised by the waves as they crashed against the rocks.




In the afternoon we visited the waterfalls on the Margaret River just out of the town,


There was so much water, more than on previous visits in earlier years.


There was nobody about and although there was the loud crashing noise of the water it was a really tranquil place to sit and admire the beauty of the bush.



For dinner we decided to have a curry from the local "Curry Van". Pete is the clever chap with an umbrella in the queue.
