Perth-Esperance. The southwest coast

I stayed in Perth a bit more than planned (as usual!) and enjoyed the last hours enjoying the company of my friend Patri. I knew the time doesn't stop and there is still a long drive to Sydney.

Last day in the park with the famous black swans (the symbol of Perth).

Next stop in the Southwest was Chubby's place in Donsborough, a small village with money and surfers, an strange combination... Chubby is a surfer-artist-painter who has an enviable life style. Beatiful place, nice people, peaceful enviroment, awesome beaches and surfing made the place too perfect to stay there just a couple of days. So, waiting for my new trip partner I spent my days in this enviable life.

A photo of my host, Chubby, surfing. He's a great surfer, I can assure, I saw him riding pretty big waves!

Yallingup beach is one of the spots where I spent more hours in the water "riding the waves". Awesome experience.

Once Claire, the belgian girl who join me to this last of the trip, arrived we drove south looking for Margaret River, its winneries and surfing spots.

Beatiful landscape in conto's beach. Next morning surfing with rain, love it!

Affer saying goodbye to Chubby and Nina, we drove south, to the last end of Southwest Australia, and then west looking for the famous nature of the great southern.

The Southwest cape of Australia is where two ocean meet: indian and Southern
(as you can see ;-P).

The summer(and the hot) in the south has still not arrived but in spite of a bit of cold and rain, the land shows its most wonderful dresses.


Heaps of beautiful wildflowers around!!! See the pictures of them in other blog.

Some of the trails we walked with absoluely no one around, just the wildlife.

Of the creatures of this forest, this giant Marri was one of the most impressives.

Bluff Knoll, the moutain we climb to "enjoy" the wind and the wet in the summit.

Beatiful landscape in the Stirling range. Maybe to much fields and not much bush, but this is what white men has done here: fields and golf course give more money than the bush...
