The sun was shining first thing this morning which was great. It made Hamelin Bay look so much better, It really is a lovely place in the sunshine. I had breakfast and did all the usual stuff and then went for a walk along the beach until check out time at half 10. It was then just a short drive to Augusta. It took about 45 minutes to get there. Augusta is a lovely little town. I stopped in the centre, and dodging showers for the rain had returned, I stocked up on food and went to the Post Office to post something to the UK! On the way into Augusta there were lots of vehicles leaving with kayaks strapped to the roof, the leaving competitors from the Anaconda race. I then drove up to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse. This is somewhere I had seen on the TV earlier on in the year. Simon Reeve did an exceptionally good programme for the BBC called Indian Ocean. In this programme he followed the coastline of the ocean from it’s beginning in South Africa to where it ends in Australia at this lighthouse. Cape Leeuwin is where two oceans meet. To the north runs the Indian Ocean and to the east it’s the Southern Ocean. Simon Reeve was stood out on the big expanse of rock where the oceans meet for the end of the series and I was thinking later on this year I’ll be stood where he is. Except I wasn’t stood exactly where he had been but I wasn't far away at the viewing platform. The actual rock itself is closed to the public due to the high winds and big crashing waves. At various times of the year the differing ocean currents, waves, and swell patterns are evident in the waters around the cape. This can create unusual conditions in the surrounding waters. The highest wind speed recorded here was 152kph on 2nd August 1991. The highest and lowest temperatures recorded here are 42.8 and 3.3 degrees respectively.It was very windy today and with that wind it was a bit chilly. Definitely fleece weather at the Cape! So I’ve now travelled Cape to Cape from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin.This is where I leave the Indian Ocean for now (I’ll rejoin it when I do the top half of Western Australia next year) and begin following the Southern Ocean across the bottom of Western Australia, across the Nullarbor Plain and into South Australia and beyond. The Cape was a majestic windswept place and I loved it. The scenery here is incredible and I never cease to be amazed at how beautiful the coastline of this part of Australia is. From the Cape I drove back towards Augusta and to the Flinders Bay Caravan Park which I had noticed on the way up to the Cape. They had plenty of room tonight, infact so much room that the lady at reception told me just to drive round and pick a spot I liked and then let her know which one. She told me that they had been completely full over the last couple of nights for the Anaconda race. This was a really nice site right on the beach and with big grassy sites. I opted for plot 27, as you do, reported back to reception and then set up camp. I went for a little walk down on the beach, then did my laundry and then it was time for tea. Sausages tonight and they were definitely being done on the barbie as the barbie area here had the best view. It was elevated a little bit and commanded a great view of the beach and the Southern Ocean. Completely shattered by about 9 so early night again. All this sea air doesn’t half make you sleep well. Nite nite gorgeous blog followers.
