Oops.. nearly didn’t make it. Someone left the passports in the guest house safe - long story but they were retrieved in time. Spent three nights & four days at the Victoria Falls Hotel, where at last pulling the honeymoon card worked, landed us the honeymoon suite overlooking the gorge/bridge/falls mist.

Arrived in Perth early morning and drove south along the old coast road to Busselton for one night. The next morning we drove down to Pemberton for Jo & Dennis' wedding at Brook Dam and the wedding reception was held at an old mill town.

However, we managed to get a great view of the sharks from the boat due to the water being crystal clear. The most scary part of this trip was when one of the boat engines caught fire just as the sea mist descended, leaving us with an hour of zero visibility & smoke back to the jetty. [View Full Entry]
