 WESTERN AUSTRALIA 

 Is huge, it is a third of Australia. In the south, the Southern Ocean nd the Great Australian Bight roll into the massive, spectacular cliffs.

During the months from May to September the Southern Right and Humpback Whales migrate from Antartica to the warmer waters

to breed and head up the West and East coasts.

At the Mouth of the Bight on the east side of the Nullarbor you can travel along a short track to a coffee shop and for a small fee,

walk down to the edge of the cliffs and view the whales in the area known as the nursery.

We were fortunate to see a mother and her white calf laying back enjoying the rest as they head north.

White whales are lucky to survive from preditators, so to see one was just fabulous.

The West Coast is bound by the most beautiful turquoise colourd sea, white sand and so many attractions.

We headed inland to the Goldfields of Kalgoolie,up to Leonora to see the Sons of Gwalia goldmine and in the Leonara township

is the White House, built by a man who was to later become President of the United States of America.

Over to New Norcia, a place that is hard to imagine would be found in Australia. Great chocolate and wine.

Now to the coast to The Pinnacles in Nambung NP, Coral Bay, play with the dolphins at Monkey Mia.

Across SharkBay is where William Dampier first set foot in 1699, then not stopping sailed on by.

Nothing to see here was his comment.    How wrong was he.

At the southern end of North West Cape NP is Yardie Creek, struck by a fierce hurricane in

which closed off the mouth of the creek to the sea.

Exmouth for some deep sea fishing.

Onto Broome, the Dampier Peninsular. a seaplane out to the Horizontal Falls WOW  up the Gibb River Road

Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek the Bungle Bungle which is Purnululu NP.

Kununarra to restock supplies and out to Lake Argyle, and to the border of WA and NT  Keep River NP.

So much to see, so much more to do.

Thee areas are remote, the scenery is wonderful and the sky so blue.
