Augusta, Denmark, Albany, Wave Rock, Southern Cross and Coolgardie

After being held up in Perth for almost an extra day because the caravan bearings needed replacing we headed south, stopped the night in a free campsite near and then headed to Augusta and Cape Leeuwin

Cosy Corner near Denmark, we stayed in the free camp spot near this beach for 2 nights with one other caravan couple as it was too stormy to leave.

 

Albany

Although it was raining we drove around the scenic areas at Albany, had a few sunny moments when the rain stopped and were able to get a few great shots in then we headed up to Wave Rock and on to the Southern Cross goldfields.

Southern Cross

 

 

After leaving Wave rock we spent the night at the Southern Cross gold fields, didn't find any gold but did dig up some great old bottles, glass stoppers and a very old porcelain Golden Eye Ointment pot lid left behind by the old miners.

 

Coolgardie

 

 

1st house you come to in Coolgardie with a very elaborate display of just about everything (I wonder if all this stuff came from the old miners camp sites?)
