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?)
