Day 3 - Augusta to Pemberton

We woke up early for breakfast and headed back to Cape Leeuwin to visit the lighthouse. It was closed by the time we arrived the day before and we really wanted to check out the meeting point of the Indian and Southern Ocean!

Then, we took a slight detour to Hamelin Bay. Don't be deceived by the calm tranquility of the place... it absolutely stinks (prolly due to the seaweeds on the beach) and is full of flies! And we didn't manage to spot the stingrays... maybe the conditions were not right.

From then on, it was a 2 hour drive from the coast to Pemberton, the heart of the Southern Forests. We stopped by a river where you can fish for trout, Beedalup Falls, as well as a king trout and marron (a type of freshwater lobster) farm before heading to Pemberton town itself.

We 'tapau'ed some food and had our lunch at Gloucester National Park, which attracted a few curious visitors!

It was then time for some work out - climbing the 61m tall Gloucester Tree! Of course, Kevin didn't allow Agnes to climb all the way up, but Ka Sing almost reached the top!

The 3 day journey ended with a 5 hour drive back to Perth. We even had time for a night visit to King's Park, before we all headed home and Kevin began thinking about his presentation he was supposed to give the next day...
