Western Oz
Posted On Sunday, January 5, 1997 at at 7:56 PM by AlvinWe flew in to Perth from Darwin and were ready for some more of this country's magical landscapes ! Perth had a relaxing atmosphere where we spent some time visiting the Swan River and King's Park. It was so sunny and bright that we were sure that the air was pristine and it was such a change from the smog of Roma !
We moved on to The Pinnacles which were just absolutely out-of-this-world as we had never seen such stunning plant fossils and covering such a gigantic site - roughly the size of 10 football pitches ! Take a look !We drove on to an amazing campsite called Wadi Farm where we surprised the owners by being their only guests and we had the whole site to ourselves, they even cleaned out the swimming pool just for us - great guys ! We then drove on to visit the iconic Wave Rock, say no more, surf away !
We spent the rest of our time in Western Australia driving through the Sterling Mountain Range and the wine areas near Margaret River and did a few spot of wine-tasting before heading off to Sydney to visit Michael, Erica, Yvonne and Bridget. Yeb, the fridge-raiders were on their way !As we went around the beautiful areas in WA, we took time to enjoy the functional city of Albany and swam in the clear blue waters of Bussleton. Life's so good in the Lucky Country !
