Dryden's Travels: Yallingup to Perth

Hi again to all,

We arrived at Yallingup quite early for us 12 noon, we had to wait for our site as they had a late booking out, 2pm? we went for a walk up to caves house for a coffee, on returning found our site still not empty after much reading & questions the customers arrived and vacated the site.

Lighthouse Keepers house @ Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse

The next day we decided to go to the lighthouse, this is a small lighthouse but the views were great & the tour good. It was quite a long drive as you had to go to Dunsborough first. Quant little place.

Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse

After the lighthouse we went to some rocks that you could see from the lighthouse, Sugar Loaf Rocks with dolphins playing on the waves (no photo as too far away)

The waves at Yallingup had lots of surfers every day, with lots of holiday house on the hills.

Ian's new method of tight spot parking

On another day we drove to Busselton to see the the jetty which is 1 mile (1 3/4 Km's) we decided to walk, it was cold very windy but great all the same. The food in the cafes on the foreshore were over priced. Ian did some precise parking in the car park, trying to find a park long enough.

The truck just fitted

The roof of Ngilgi Cave from the floor, Yallingup

Ngilgi cave was very interesting, very dry and quite deep again lots of steps up and down with a ranger at the bottom to talk to you, this was a beautiful cave as are all caves are.

Lighthouse @ Bunbury

On leaving Yallingup we headed to Bunbury for an overnight stay. We went for a drive around to look at the lighthouse, its black and white check and surrounded by houses, the beaches where different lots of rocks and surfers, the main street (cafe strip) was very tired with lots of empty shops. May have to try the place again some day to see if it gets any better.
