Day 4 - Continued our journey to Albany

After lunch we continued our journey to Albany. We reached Albany around 6 p.m. and checked in at the B & B at a place called the Terrace. We stayed at the Wren Villa. It was a nice cosy place but was rather cold for us in the evening. Fortunately we brought our warm clothes. I could not connect to the internet as this place required a telephone wire to connect to the phone socket on the wall. I planned to post my blogs as we go along but internet access was not all available at the places where we stayed. That is why I am doing the posting theses few days after I am back home.

Day 4 - On the Way to Albany




On the 4th day we picked up the in Perth and drove down to Albany, stopping at Kojonup for lunch. It was a nice day so walked around for a while and took some pictures.

Day 3 - The Pinnacles








The Pinnacles Desert is a unique and spectacular experience within Nambung National Park, 250 kilometres north of Perth. Rising mysteriously from the dune sands are thousands of limestone pillars , a landscape in eerie contrast to the surrounding heath . Nambung National Park is one of many protected areas in this world-renowned biodiversity hotspot, where an extraordinary range of wildlife and habitats lie within easy reach of each other.

Pictures from Rottnest Island














Some 7,000 years ago rising sea levels separated Rottnest Island from the Australian mainland. The island is formed of limestone rocks with a thin covering of sand. The limestone base affects the types of plants and animals that can survive there, and the six major habitats: coastal, salt lakes, brackish swamps, woodlands, heath and settled areas. Salt lakes occupy ten percent of the area.






The limestone coral reef surrounding Rossnest grew approximately 100,000 years ago when the sea level was thought to be at least three metres higher than the present day. The Rossnest Island Marine Reserve has a far greater range of habitats, marine plants and animals than that of the adjacent mainland coastline.
