Day 07 Thr. (13.09.2012) Total return journey from Molloy Caravan Park to Perth is 347km
Breaking camp at 9.30am after breakfast.
We drove 23km to visit the Water Wheel at 9.55am and the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, Leeuwin Rd. Augusta at 10.30am. The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse was built in 1895 and marks Australia?s most southwestern point. The view from the top of the lighthouse could see where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet.Had 11am early lunch at the Colourpatch restaurant and later adjourned to Augusta Hotel for cold beer.
At 1pm, we were at the Jewel Cave (17km from Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse) for a 45 minute cave tour.
At 3.30pm we were at the 145 year-old Busselton Jetty (94km from Jewel Cave), in a sheltered shore of Geographe Bay. Voted one of the top 10 places to visit in the world by Lonely Planet, the region is famed for its breathtaking natural beauty. Jetty $2.50 - With a length of 2km, this is the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. There is good snorkeling off the jetty and also a small museum at the entrance and an underwater observatory at the end of it at $20 admission.
Driving for another 215km, we finally reach Seah?s Haven at 7.30pm and Monica had already prepared curry chicken and pork stew for dinner.
The 4day outing to explore the southern Margaret River Region was awesome with a total road journey of 847km. Many thanks to Dave who was our trip planner, driver, tour guide and a fantastic cook as well.

| At 1pm, we were at the Jewel Cave (17km from Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse) for a 45 minute cave tour. Jewel Cave is a spectacular natural attraction located 8km from Augusta, and 37km south of Margaret River. Noted for its incredible formations, such as the longest straw stalactite found in any tourist cave, Jewel Cave takes approx 1hr to stroll through. Your imagination will come alive as you try to spot features of the cave, which include the organ pipes, giant shawl, friendly ghost, Jedi and jewellery box. There is a 1km karri trail which takes in spectacular views and provides a pleasant, easy way to pass the time while you're waiting for the next tour. Jewel Cave has revealed many surprises over the years, including the remains of a Thylacine, which is now safely stored by the Western Australian Museum. |
