Home and Away

We are now back home in Stoneville again after our short break in Ledge Point.  We were next to the Indian Ocean and went down to see the sunset the first evening.  This is Sue getting her toes wet



The beaches are absolutely fabulous and mostly deserted - here are a few shots of some others we visited.  Sue did manage to get stung by a small jelly fish here but an application of vinegar from the local bar seemed to cure her.  We  hear some beaches keep a store of vinegar available as it is the best antidote to stings.

This was Cervantes Beach = not sure why the Spanish theme but we had a Seville and Barcelona street here too in the small seaside town.

One of the most amazing places we visited down here was the Pinnacles - a weird area of  sandstone rocks set out over a large area.  Only discovered by the tourist board in the 1960s.  Martin looks as though he has gone native here and is certainly having a "Bonza time" here.

One of the more unusual sights here was a man going on a camping holiday around Australia with 2 camels.




We have not had many comments on the blog yet so do get in touch if you are following us.  Only 3 more days in Western Australia then off to Melbourne - 3 hour flight and 2 hours ahead.
