Bunburry to Augusta via all points East.

I

Time to get further south and see some of the big forests. We of course started the day with a walk on the beach at Bunbury.

We were lucky enough to see a dolphin teasing the people at the dolphin experience centre. 

From there a quick visit to the port and a lookout in the centre of town and we were off South.  Bye bye Bunburry. 

Heading south on highway one we made good time until we got sidetracked into a town with the unlikely name of Greenbushes, home to a tin mine

And a very big spare tyre

Onwards to lunch at Manjinup. Apparently the up at the end of all the place names means water or on water. 

An appointment at the top of a big tree left me with rather aching thighs. 

Kerrie has some photos of me going up. I don't know where the diamond is that the tree is named after. 

These trees had fire lookouts built on them and bars drilled into them as steps. Quote a climb, especially with people going the other way.  

Heading west we drove over part of the Karri forest drive. Great drive with a lot of big trees and bubbling cascades. 

That brings us to our stop at Augusta and dinner at thee Leeuwen lighthouse at the end of the world.
