Just a short 40km drive today to the seaside village of Augusta, established in 1830. This is only a few Km from Cape Leeuwin, the sight of Australia’s tallest mainland lighthouse and where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet.
After one of us completed the lighthouse climb we had a look at the 1895 water wheel that supplied water to the lighthouse using a ram pump. On our return trip to camp we sighted a pod of dolphins about 100 metres from shore.
The weather is still fine and warm and the green, gently undulating countryside very much like the Yarra valley or Gippsland.
