The last couple of days in Perth before we head off…

                                                                                                  IMG_0319Forty five pictures. That’s how many I took of this beautiful sunset over Lancelin, north of Perth.  We watched the crayfish boats come in and drop their loads off and then moor their boats for the night.  The locals tolerated our presence as we stood on the jetty sipping tea and watching the sun slide down in to the Indian Ocean, as they tried to manoeuvre their cars around us.

We found this Gravity Observatory in the middle of the bush near GinGin.  THIS, was a very interesting place.  They talked about the laws of gravity and the effects of gravitational waves on the planet.  A real eye opener.  No, this picture isn’t an eye…but a black hole.

This little guy was out the front of the building.  He was very busy eating as much of the nectar that he could, off this Banksia bush.

Earlier in the day, we stopped for lunch at Two Rocks Marina.  We sat in the back of the cars eating our sandwiches as we watched a fishing boat come in to the marina on the opposite side of the road.

THIS is one of the things I love most about Australia.  It’s pristine waters.  I never get tired of seeing the azure water.

 

And tomorrow, we get ready to continue our trip.  We’re even going to try and squeeze another movie in before we go, as it will be the last time for a while.  In the meantime, enjoy the photos on Slideshow.  I do apologise for so many sunset shots, but it was bound to happen, especially after taking so many.
