Day one.
We set off to see Greens Pool and Elephant Rock. Greens Pool is a very large sandy pool with large flat rocks all around to shield it from the surf of the Southern Ocean. It is a natural formation and is a popular spot.
We then went on to Elephant Rocks which is another natural rock formation with huge rocks which look just like elephants. The beaches here are wonderful, very sandy, almost deserted and with a huge surf, the sea is so blue as the waves break.
After that we visited a winery come cheese shop and had cheese and wine for lunch.
We also visited the Old Butter Factory in Denmark and saw the alpaca goods that they stock.
In the evening we went for a meal at The Tavern.
Day Two
We went off the Albany for the day, It was about an hours drive.
Our first visit was to The Gap and then The Bridge. These are natural rock formations and the Southern Ocean rollers make them spectacular. We have many photos of them, it is a special area.
We also went to Cable Bay, a fantastic beach.
After a bit of a look around Albany we went onto Emu Point around Princess Royal Bay. We were most impressed with Albany and the surrounding area is wonderful.
Day Three
We went down to Wilson Inlet near Denmark and had a walk around there enjoying views of Ocean Beach.
After that we went to two wineries and did some tasting, having lunch at one of them. There are so many wineries to visit in this area, and so little time!
Day Four
We Packed up and left the house at 8.45.
We went to visit the famous tall trees and did the wonderful Treetop Walk amongst the canopies of the tingle trees.
The walk reaches 40 metres in height and sways in the breeze above the trees.
We then started our journey back to Perth via Warpole, lunch in Bridgetown and then onto Donnybrook which is where the Pink Lady Apples were developed. This is a big fruit growing area.
We picked up the Highway and reached Mindarie at 7.00 pm. A long day.
A lovely long weekend away.









Wow, what a wonderful time! And to think all I've been doing is sitting in meetings. Day dreaming of being there with you xxx
