This is the tree top walk near Walpole on our drive from Pemberton to Albany.
One of the squids the boys caught. We enjoyed eating them for dinnner but Steve found it a chore to prepare them as the ink bag would put ink everywhere. Very messy work but we all enjoyed eating them.
We had a good look over the Brig Amity in Albany. It was a replica of the boat that brought the first British settlers to Albany.
The boys look very proud of their catch of squid!
Our visit to Whale World in Albany was very interesting to find out about the whaling industry. It was a relief to me that they don't kill the whales anymore and hack them to pieces. (So PC Sue). It's interesting that the Japanese kill about 990 minkie whales for research, oh by the way they just happen to eat them as well. Anyway, Japan have their hands full re their natural disaster.
These whale skeletons were from beached whales. The huge jaw bones were from a blue whale. Seems ridiculous that they only ate krill and plankton with those huge jaws. It makes me look like a dwarf standing near it (in aqua jacket).
Wind farm in Albany. We walked right up to one and marvelled at the immense size of one. The stand was 64 metres high and each arm of the windmill is 34 metres long.
We found Bremer Bay a very pretty little coastal town.
This was a squeaky beach at Bremer Bay and the boys enjoyed making the sand squeak under their feet. We have rejigged our itinerary to include Wave Rock and Kalgoolie. Some extra driving but I'm sure it will be worth it. Over the last few days we have all come down with a cold. Hopefully the first and last one for the year. Looking forward to some sun in Esperance.
Stay tuned for the next installment of our adventures.
Sue.
