Awesome day even though I came down with a raging head cold. Where meant to go out to Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges to do some trekking but I softed out. So instead had a looky around the historic main street, and picniced in a park for lunch.

Headed out along Frenchman Bay Rd to Frenchman Bay to have a look at Whale World, the old Albany Whaling Station which closed down in 1978. They used to hunt Sperm and Right Whales. Pretty gruesom practice, but heaps interesting.

Then on the way home called into the Blowhole (remember - don't stand over it!). Pretty cool and noisy. Watched a couple of lads with a death wish out surfing off some rocks.

Onto the gap and Natural bridge, where the ocean comes crashing into the sheer cliffs. Pretty awesome display of natures might.

Onto the Valley of the Giants tomorrow!!
