We awoke to some blue sky but with black cloud threatening. After brekky we drove down to the lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin which was only a few kilometres away. This is the point where the Southern Ocean meets and crashes into the Indian Ocean. When I was here last year it was a pretty dramatic place to be. We drove there along the Southern Ocean and the sea was fairly calm here. About half way there we turned a corner and could see the lighthouse in the distance. We could also now see the Indian Ocean and it wasn't calm like the Southern. The surf was up and there seemed to be a big swell. The Indian Ocean looked angry. There had been a couple of big showers rattling down on the way but hopefully the showers would stop long enough for us to see the lighthouse. We pulled up in the car park on the cape near the lighthouse with the Southern on one side and the Indian on the other. The wind was blowing strongly and coming in from the west causing huge waves to come crashing ashore on the Indian side. It was a hell of a lot more dramatic here today then when I was last here. We paid the small entrance fee at the visitors centre and walked to the end of Cape Leeuwin where the big white lighthouse stood proudly watching the fierce seas. On the walk there we passed a huge model cow holding a telescope. It was a funny thing with big pink udders. After this wonderful photo opportunity we strode the rest of the way to the lighthouse. From here we took the steps down to the end of the cape and to where the two oceans meet. We thought we cold see the meeting point where the big swell and waves of the Indian flung themselves into the more relaxed Southern waters. It was an awesome, rugged and dramatic scene before us with huge breakers smashing into rocks and causing huge bursts of frothing ocean foam. The ocean is so powerful and the show it was presenting to us today was utterly fantastic. We stood there mesmerised watching the waves for ages. After this we walked the short distance to the Water Wheel on the Indian Ocean side of the cape. The scene that met us here was breathtakingly wild. The landscape of brutal pounding ocean, rugged rocks and windswept bushland was wildly majestic. The water wheel itself stands at the edge of the rocks and is now fossilised. It was built to help pump water from a spring up to the lighthouse cottages. Over the years the wood that it was made from has been replaced by minerals so it's now calcified and frozen in time like a stalagmite. We explored this area for ages scrambling over the rocks and getting soaked in the salty water being blown off the ocean. It was only the sea soaking us today as the rain showers had now abated. After our wild time here we went back to the camper van and drove to a parking area at the side of the road overlooking the calmer waters of the Southern Ocean where we had some lunch. For the rest of the day we just chilled out in the relaxing surrounds of the caravan park.
