The bike got a well-earned rest. Sally took me sightseeing in Torndirrup National Park near Albany. This lookout suspends you above The Gap where you can watch the waves directly beneath your feet as they sure into a narrow gap in the cliffs.
Natural Bridge - an obvious name. The rocks here are gneiss and granolite.
More views.
Australia's last whaling station, closed in 1978, now a museum. I didn't pay to go in.
Albany is a large town that sprawls around a huge natural harbour. It was useful for shopping - groceries, fuel, a backpack to replace my small one that I have worn out. It was hot - 28 degrees.
Mid-afternoon. About half an hour north of Albany, a steep 4 km walk, sweating all the way to Castle Rock. Rock scrambling and a ladder.
See-through walkway.
Huge views. Worth every drop of sweat. A refreshing late afternoon breeze.
Then to a caravan park in the small town of Mt Barker for the night.
