Goldfields and the Coast

[OZDUCK]

We then drove back to Perth - around 710 km

Painted wheat silos in Ravensthorpe - Banksia blooms



Wave Rock at Hyden.





On top of the rock. The "wall" is to direct rainfall into the reservoir built before scheme water got to Hyden



There are pockets of vegetation on the top. You can see how dry the surrounding country is. Including the omnipresent salt lakes in this area.





And that is the end of our little trip. Our visitors are currently in the Mt Barker/Albany area and then will be spending a few days around Margaret River before returning to Perth

Nature around Esperance

A sleepy sea-lion at Bandy Creek Harbour. I had a bit of trouble convincing my friend that they are dangerous and not to get too close

We went a few hundred metres further and I was able to show him that I was not lying

Dangerous in more ways than one!

Stunning pics. The colour of that water is very inviting.

Hubby and I want to do that Goldfields Discovery trail one day. We have done a tiny part between Ora Banda and Coolgardie, but want to go north and do it all. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks. The trail is actually better marked than I thought it would be. I would also like to do more of the trail.
