We travelled to near Gingin to visit the Gravity Discovery Centre and the Australian International Gravitational Observatory. The centre is a science education facility with lots of cool science things to do and learn about. We enjoyed dropping our water bombs off the 45 metre high leaning tower. On the way back to the caravan park we had a look at Yanchep and Two Rocks.

Yes it's fine and sunny with a light offshore breeze so after lunch we walked to the local beach to do some fishing. Small whiting were caught from the first cast but none were big enough to keep which was good, our freezer is quite small. By the time I headed for the pool we had six herring in the bucket and Dad was licking his lips. The good weather looks like continuing for at least another week.

A sort trip up the coast to the fishing and holiday town of Lancelin. At last we find some nice surf at the back beach and spend a couple of hours there with our boogie boards. Fraser caught some waves body surfing and almost rode them all the way to the shore, We tried some Gingin lamb at the butcher shop which was very tasty.

A quiet day checking out the beaches in Ledge Point and having a swim in the pool. The coastline has numerous reefs which limit the waves and swimming opportunities for us, but we think there are a few good waves to the north which we’ll explore tomorrow. And it’s warming up again - perfect weather for Dad to go fishing.

After a number of showery days the weather is sunnier and we head back to the coast through Northam, Toodyay, Bindoon (nice bakery) and Gingin. We stop in Northam to do some shopping and schoolwork at the library. The grain silos in Northam have some great street art on them – a pity there isn’t more of this on dull industrial buildings. Although it’s still school holidays here the caravan park at Ledge Point is reasonably quiet.
