Albany-ish

 So after we left Esperance, we headed towards Albany. We spent the first few nights at Peaceful Bay Caravan Park and then headed backwards a little bit to join our mates at Cosy Corner free camp.  We were warned from travellers heading south to stay put during the school holidays as everything north was fully booked….so we did. 

For any of those who have done a bit of travelling, especially in free camps, you will have no doubt come across some dodgy characters. We had one at this camp and we called him 'the phile'.  He wouldn't talk to men or look any men in the eyes as he walked by but he went out of his way to make conversation with any young girls.  Anytime he would leave his camp, we would take turns moving or hiding his gear - he would become irate and we would all have a chuckle.


So other than infuriating creepy dude, what do you do when your stuck in the same place for 10 days…..fish of course!!

Woohoo - Paul caught 3 wild salmon!!

From Cosy Corner we went sight seeing around the Albany area.

We spent the day at Green's pool.  It is a beautiful spot with clear blue water and the local kids actually do their swimming lessons here during the summer.

We visited the Natural Bridge

and the Gap.  If you look really close at the above photo, you can see tiny dots on top of the left hand cliff under the arrow

- that's Paul and the kids

We also visited the whaling station and were in awe of the display of whale skeletons - this one below is about 55metres.  They can get up to 70metres!!

So now we head north towards Margaret River
