Flinders Augusta

by in Trip, Western Australia

From Canebreak pool we move past Margaret River, a quite touristic place. We have been here before and although we look around and stop at some places, there’s not too much to take pictures of (or of course we could have forgotten to take the camera with us once or twice).

We stop at a shell museum and thank heaven that they didn’t allow visitors to take any shells, as they had shells the size of bath tubs.

Then we come to Augusta, where preparations are underway for the Anaconda event. Not that we care too much as we have only kiting on our mind (well, some of us).
The camp ground that we ideally want because of its location doesn’t allow dogs. So we decide to go to the other camping at Flinders Bay that welcomes Dotti and Nossi.
Marjo is ecstatic, as her favourite bird is here plentiful and easy to photograph.

For kiting this beach has way too many rocks.

So we use the available props and our talented crew for a photo shoot.

Nossi must not have liked the smell of that because first he acts as if he doesn’t know Marjo.

And then tries to push her off the rock into the water.

Soon they’re friends again though.

The rocks and Marjo make a cute couple.

And Dotti thinks, I can do that too.

Nossi is very impressed.

Then Marjo tries the view from higher up.

Then it’s time to go back to the camping and Marjo shows Nossi how to get down the rocks.

Nossi shows little interest, so she helps him to focus.

Then he pays attention.

And follows suit.

On the way back to the bus we spot some more nice wild flowers.

Another glorious day.
