Now been to the most south-westerly point on the continent which is Cape Leeuwin.  It is named after the Dutch ship that first charted that corner of WA long before Cooke “discovered” Australia.  Had a look around the lighthouse etc.  Kenneth kept Wuffy company in the carpark as there was a sign saying no dogs so Wuffy had to miss out.

Then as suggested I headed north towards Dunsborough along Caves Road so named due to the local limestone caves.  Decided to give the caves miss as they have alot of stairs which my knees are a bit over after the lighthouse.  Not a bad little drive with varied scenery and some more fun bike road.

Had lunch in Dunsborough at the Bakery.  Predictable arent I.  Good coffee though.  The town itself though somewhere I wanted out of ASAP.  Typical of your grossly over developed tourist town and it stayed like this all the way to Busselton.  

The thing that was recommended to by a friend was a tour of the pier.  Not usually my sort of thing but it turned out to be the highlight of the trip so far.  The pier itself is the longest timber pier in the southern hemisphere.  From memory about 1.6 km long.  Bought a ticket for the tour which consist of a ride a little train to the end of the pier.  At the end, there is now an underwater aqurium.  Aqurium does not really descibe it.  Think of a large pipe standing upright on the seabed 8m down with windows and stair inside it. When you at the bottom you are are looking at the surface from the seabed.  Heaps of different fish and stuff growing on the pylons.   Also our guides other job was that she was one of the scuba divers that cleaned the windows each week.  You could tell she really loved her job.

After the train trip back an hour later I headed off towards Bunbury and am camped in town for the night.  Put the tent up and went a get some fish and chips at a place recommended by the caravan park owner.  She did not lie,  up there with the best of them.  Even Kenneth agreed.

Problem now is that is raining as I sit in the tent typing this and I also need to organise a rear tyre for the Vstrom as the current one may not get me to Darwin so best to replace it now so might have to be around Perth until Monday.   See what tomorrow brings.
