WA

The second week of my break I spend in Western Australia (WA) … I had my flight to Mauritius anyway via Perth, so I stopped over there … I spend a couple of days in Perth, power shopping and once more sightseeing (have been in Perth for the first time about 2 years ago)

Perth - London Court

On Thursday jumped on a car and made my way south to Margaret River where I stayed in a backpackers right on the beach (Surfside Lodge).

On Friday I made my way south to Augusta and visited Australia’s most south-westerly point which is marked by a lighthouse. Cape Leeuwin is were the Indian and the Southern Ocean meet. You can see what big power that waters there have, huge surf, swelling over rocks …

Margaret River region is not only known for its world-class surf but also for its wines … on Saturday I indulged in a day-long wine-tasting tour and couldn’t resist to buy several bottles of great wine … which nearly brought me into trouble when I tried to take them on as hand-luggage … however, everything worked out just fine finally …

On Sunday I made my way back to Perth, stopping once again in Busselton which has this nice jetty … had a breakfast there before I hurried back to Perth. Came home late on Sunday night … uni started today … anyway, will take it easy this term (think I mentioned that about last term also ;) …
