From Sea to Shining Sea
Hello from the Southwestern most point on the Australian continent, the Leeuwin lighthouse. This is our second lighthouse of the day, having been to the Naturaliste lighthouse this morning. The Leeuwin is the marker between the Indian and Southern Oceans, although I couldn't eyeball the immediate difference between the two. Earlier in the day, we went spelunking into the Mammoth Caves which was neither mammoth, nor contained mammoths at any point. The wine region here in Western Australia shares the same geography as the cave region. Margaret River is a quaint little town with surrounding wineries and olive orchards. We poked our head into one of the oldest wineries in the area for some sipping and supplies, planning to sample the local product in full when the day's driving is done.
The driving has been good, we've made good time and spotted plenty of critters on the road to pull over and take a look at. Roos were spotted in the wild today, as was a large Goana lizard. Neither were taken home as dinner.
