Go west young man!....Then return!! (and wash your car!)

Today I decided to make it to the south western most part of the Australian main land, and I did!

There are a lot of towns and roads and stuff along the southern end here that have names ending with up, then inland a bit there are a lot of rocks, and everything over here is Great, and as you travel a bit further north there's lots of towns ending with ing, and then ong! Great eastern highway, Great western highway, Great rock, Greatup and it is a really Great place to visit!!!

Along some of the roads there are these Great big water pipes and I thought it was amusing to see these taps with little pipes heading to each property, it just looks funny.... but Great!

There's been a lot of rain over here these last 5 days making back roads inaccessible, which is unfortunate as I like getting off the track. However I did find a nice country drive or 2 that were paved.... very pretty countryside.

I arrived at Augusta this morning. Such a lovely place on the south west corner of our amazingly Great continent!

Determined to stand on the south western most point in Australia (continental) I arrived at Leeuwin lighthouse. A very Great place and still operational. All restored and maintained by local volunteers, and a Great job they've done, and are doing... So I had lunch here!

Looking east from the south western point in Oz.

Looking south... nothing there but Antarctica. Great!

That rock is as far south west as you can get!!!!!!!! I didn't get there as a) the water was way too cold to swim and b) I didn't have a boat.

And this is me.. as south west as I can get without getting very wet!

Sign says it all...

and this is the cow!

looking back at the lighthouse....

Margaret River... A really Great town, kinda like Melany, only further west. Lots of little arty shops selling local produce. Very scenic also and the walks around the river were beautiful.
