On Monday Kai and I drove 85km from Bunbury to Dunsburgh via Busselton. Busselton is famous for its 1.8km jetty. This is the second longest wooden jetty in the world; only Southend Pier is longer which I am sure will please my cousin Marjory. 
At the end of the Busselton Jetty is an under water observatory where you can see the fish in the clear blue water through large windows.
After a picnic lunch we continued on to Dunsburgh on the Cape Naturaliste. We visited the light house, built in 1903, and only converted to elctricity in 1971, until whcih time the light house was staffed by three keepers who lived with their familes in three stone cottages. The Cape is a very good site for watching whales pass by but unfortunately for me its the wrong time of year.
After visiting a local beach and "Sugarloaf" rock I dropped Kai at the local campsite and I went to the local YHA, via the supermarket for ingredients for some home cooking.

On Tuesday I took a wine tour (I wasn't driving) around four local wineries, a cheeese factory, a choclate factory and a brewery. All other people on the trip were all Australians and needless to say it was a great day out.
