We didn't play golf - what a shocker. Basically we got to the par 3 course and found out it was all done on an honour system but to hire clubs you had to trek back into town (where we'd just come from). By this time it was getting late so that makes Jen still golf champion. Today we went whale watching, which was a different experience to Moreton Bay. The whales we saw were mother and calf - the calf, although weight a ton or two, and measuring a few metres was only 2 weeks old. They were 'southern right', not humpback, whales, which tend not to breach as often as the humpbacks. The calf was very playful and came within a few metres of the boat - we got some great piccies so will try to add these soon.

We then tried to get to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse but it was so wet & windy in the car park we thought the van was going to topple over. With discretion being the better part of valour we decided to take a raincheck (every pun intended) and headed back to the campsite with a view to going back first thing tomorrow.

We have just heard the weather report - we have a 'sever weather warning' (but then so does the whole of Southern Western Australia - an area not disimilar in size to Texas) tonight so it could be fun in our little van!

More good news has come from Jen's previous employers who have come up with an offer for her to go back in January which she is very happy with, although it looks as though her first day back at work will be her birthday...
