Entrance to our lovely farm homestay
Day 6 saw us making a day trip further down south, to see the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, located at the most south-westerly point on the mainland of the Australian continent, where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet. We travelled all the way there only to find that the lighthouse was closed! Aarrrgh. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed the audio tour and a stroll in the area, enjoying the amazing view. We tried to keep a lookout for whales, but couldn't see any (although to be honest we were not entirely sure what we were looking at/for- no binoculars!).. Hehe.
Our next stop was Jewel Cave. I was really in two minds about doing this- as I was still quite traumatised about our previous experience at Gua Tempurung. I need not have worried. The interior walkway was really well done- with good, atmospheric lighting and dry steps with ample safety features. I really enjoyed myself and did not regret visiting the Jewel Cave at all. The kids had fun as well, learning about stalactites and stalagmites.
Yummy lunch- fish and chips (with shark meat)
Next up was food hunting! We stopped at Providore to check out jams and wines, and then moved on to The Margaret River Chocolate Company. Free samples of chocolate buttons (milk, white and dark) made us all happy bunnies; and we also tried some yummy ice cream as well. Talk about sugar overload!
