A view out over the bonnet of the beast (our Nissan Patrol 4x4), at the Pinnacles, near Cervantes. We got up very early indeed so we could see the sunrise over the rocks - it was well worth it.

This was taken during a light-show in Lake Cave, near Margaret River. Some of the rock formations here and at nearby Mammoth Cave were amazing.

This is Anne climbing the Bicentennial Tree. The ladder goes all the way to a look-out point at the top. I made it about 10 rungs up before vertigo got the better of me.

A seagull, hovering above Penguin Island, Western Australia. They were nesting and therefore very territorial. Quite scary at first, but I soon learned that you could just ignore them - they were only trying to scare us off.

Just a quick note to recommend Arirang. It’s a Korean BBQ restaurant on Barrack Street - complete with the barbecue in the middle of the table. They bring out the meat and you cook it yourself, before eating it out of a lettuce leaf (as if it were a tortilla). Not something you see everyday and as a bonus, the food’s really good aswell. The puddings get a special mention too - my “peach fantasia” was a replica peach made from chocolate, ice cream and a fererro rocher as the stone (I dare you to make the “really spoiling us” gag). Brilliant.

Yes, that means I’m in Perth, Australia and yes, I’m feeling smug. G’night mate.
