As we spent a long time on the road yesterday, we treat ourselves to a walk along the beach.
As we approach the beach there is the most awful smell…….the things we thought were rock pools are actually lots of rotting sea grass….and its difficult to negotiate our way to the sand…..but we do get there and its wonderful beach….very interesting….The campsite owner says that the sea-grass compost gets washed out to sea during the winter and it fertilizes the new sea-grass beds…..
The beach
The rocks
The fossilized plants in the rocks….
Avocets ?
leaving Dongara and its huge lobster
Roadside sculpture
Mistletoe in eucalyptus
We saw many of these melons on the roadside…..here they were also all over the fields….
I think this is the epitome of an Australian tree…… I am assuming its a eucalyptus or Acacia of some sort?
I love the directness of these warning signs……
This picnic table was a solid piece of rock !
Wonderful……
Pelicans
An , as yet unidentified flower……….
This is a Banksia tree
We think this must be granite?
Sulphur crested cockatoos and Galahs
Arriving at Moora…..
