Day 67 - On the way to Antartica - apparently

  • Margaret River
  • 28°c
Up early this morning 8.00!
We decided to stay at the farm for another night so we could spend the day exploring down south. We drove to the southern most tip of Western Australia to the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, it was a beautiful spot where the Southern & Indian Oceans meet. 









On leaving the lighthouse we stopped for lunch at “The last place to eat before Antartica”! Overpriced fish n chips but a nice spot nonetheless.


We drove into Augusta, which is a really small town and Steve decided to detour down a side street, his  “Spidey Senses” must have been tingling cause there we found the best op shop in the west! Our fellow campers pulled into Augusta and we caught up with them to say our goodbyes, they are heading east across the Nullabor as we hang around the West Coast till mid December.  They have given us an open booking in their Sunshine Coast Trailer Park when we are up that way, which we will exploit to the fullest! xx 




The map showed a Christmas Shop in Karridale which we had to stop in at, lovely but nothing that we had to have. Witchcliffe was a cute little town, home of “The Flying Wardrobe” a vintage retro shop that had soo many cool things, I was very restrained and didn’t purchase a single suitcase! 



Back at the Sheep Station we were in time to feed the neighbours, they were so soft and gentle, well the lambs were, the older sheep were very pushy and tried to help themselves to the bucket of feed. A couple of cheeky ones jumped up at me trying to get a taste of the camera, one of the lambs loved having its back scratched and when you stop, it pawed at you like a dog.
