Yesterday we took a 450 mile trip to the southwestern-most point of Australia. We saw where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean and traveled through ever-changing scenery to get there. We drove through old, dense forests as well as farm regions and coastal areas. We stopped for wine tasting in Margaret River. We learned that the state of Western Australia is five times the size of Texas with a population of 2 million. Of those, 1.6 million are residents along the coast in and near Perth. We visited a Raptor Center and were able to hold a wedge tailed eagle after putting on a thick leather glove. We stopped for dinner at the southern hemisphere's longest timber jetty, in Busselton, and watched a beautiful sunset.
Before I forget I want to tell you about my new favorite morning tea. It is long black coffee with hot scones slathered with cream and jam! As you can see tea has nothing to do with it. I can really get to like this place. Now I will turn it back to Cindy so she can finish updating the blog.
