This is an old town just outside of Geraldton.It was amazing to see what it was like back in the olden days. All the buildings where still in very good shape and it was very interesting and we learnt alot of facts on the town if was a great day.

Jess and I walking on a suspension bridge 40metres in the air.

 

Me inside of a very old tree it is a ''Red Tingle'' they can grow up to 90 metres tall and 25 metres wide. 

 

 

 

We all climbed up a 60 metre tree. to a plat form where fire fighters  use to look for fires.

 

 

After that we went to a mamoth cave where we saw stalactites and stalgmites in a cave.

The Next Day...... Sorry we have lost track of the days and what happened when....

So here we are in Albany. This is a big town as it was the major port for all the gold miners coming from Europe on their way to Kalgoorlie looking for gold.

This is called "the Bridge" as it has been made naturally from millions of year of erosion. It was very cool.

 

 

The Bridge

Jess, Mum and Madi and if you look just past Jess's hand into the far distance that is the most southern point of Western Australia. We saw Hump back whales migrating from here.

 

Here in Albany they used to hunt whales until it was banned in 1978. We went the Whaling Museum which was an actual working Whale station. This is a Pygmy Blue whale (pictured) only 22metres long, yes a small one! But they hunted Sperm and Blue whales until they were extinct. It was sad to see, but good thats its now ceased.

 Day 5.....Esperance.
From Kalgoorlie we drove south to Esperance. We drove through wheat fields. We went to the National Park and stayed at a place called Lucky Bay. We saw Kangaroos on the beach and we got up close and patted them, they are used to humans I think. This picture Mum took at sunrise (Madi was still sleeping!!)

 

 This is inside our van. Dad is making a cuppa. For a Unicorn???

 

 

 

These are the roos we patted. The water here is so aqua blue, its gorgeous. By Michelle

Day 3 -Wave Rock

Today we explored Wave Rock, which was absolutely incredible!!! It was 15 metres tall and had a lovely redish-brown colour to it. It was hard to fathom that through wind, time and erosion that a rock was formed into the shape of a wave, which is now a popular tourist site and a natural wonder. We went 'surfing' -because that's the only wave we can surf!! ;)

 After walking around for a bit, we went and saw Hippo's Yawn. Which was again really gorgeous and another natural wonder. Did you know that in about a million years the Hippo will stop yawning (from erosion it will collaspe)?

The rest of the day we drove. We drove from Wave Rock to Kalgoorlie, a major mining town.

 When we arrived in Kalgoorlie, we went and saw the Super Pit!! The world's largest open pit mine!! It could hold 99 times Australia's population!!

day 2 perth city

 

In London court everything was old and the shops were very old and  there was lots of history in every building. 

At  Cottesloe Beach it was amazing beach with beach huts and the water was crystal clear. 

Mum and Jess at the beach on the rocks.

On the beach and that is the beach hut and in the back around is the club house and it was very big.

A photo of the beach and there was lots of seaweed.

A cool photo of the water  splashing up on the rocks at Cottesloe.

 

In Perth there is not many people and when we were walking around, nine news asked to interveiw us, so we are on television. Perth is amazing and has very beautiful views. We are off to wave rock on Tuesday, which should be exciting!! We went to a chocolate factory, called Murrary River Chocolate Company, there were free taste testers (BONUS!!!:) Along with a nut and fudge place, called Morish, which was very yummy and we also got free taste testers (loving the free food)!! Western Australia has gorgeous beaches and is not as busy and crowded as Sydney- however I think our beaches are better!!

 

Day 1 arrive Perth

 

Finally at Perth airport.

We weren''t allowed to throw oranges at jess

The first Perth beach (Fremantle )and we had to walk a mile to get to it dad wouldn't

stop until we found the beach.

Now it is my time to get revenge on mum for telling me to do my homework.

This is inside the first Perth Goal, founded in1829 by Capt Fremantle
