09/05/26 - Lake Cave

We went back to Lake Cave. It's an impressive climb down and an exhausting climb back up, but the cave is beautiful. The lake is completely calm and the limestone formations spectacular.

09/04/26 - Quinninup Falls - 1

The Qunninup Falls hike was a high point of our trip. We started at Moses Rock and headed north under sunny skies. It's a great coastal trail and very well maintained. It passes through a highland bog on a well constructed boardwalk and then descends sandy dunes to the beach where the Quinninup River joins the sea.

On our way out we had noticed a snake lying on the trail. We stepped around it cautiously. On the way back, the snake was gone. This was no surprise. Then, it started to rain. There was a light rain for most of our walk back to Moses Rock. We looked it up later. This type of snake is noted for lying out in the sun to warm up starting about a half hour before rain starts.

The trail signs say the trail is class 3 which is usually a reach for us, but we found it easy going, maybe class 2. Perhaps, the sand dune descent and ascent near the river are tougher on hot summer days.

09/01/26 - King's Garden in Perth

Our hotel in Perth is next door to a church. There seemed to be a bit going on there. First, there was some kind of service with a religious procession. Then came a group of dancers performing on the steps. We have no idea if they were related.

We spent much of the day at the King's Botanical Garden which offers views of the city, a war memorial and a botanical garden focused on plant life from Western Australia. It even has a skywalk and a duck pond. It's our kind of place.

08/30/26 - Kangaroo Island Cliff Walk - 1

We walked along the cliffs near our hotel on the south shore of Kangaroo Island. The entire area was burned back in 2020, but now there is lots of green. However, one can still see the trunks and branches of dead trees now bleached white.

08/27/26 - The Seals of Admiral Arch - 1

On our first day, we explored two must see sights, the Admirals Arch and the Remarkable Rocks. The trail to the arch heads down the rocky cliffs with a staircase to a platform where one can watch the waves and the seals. Sheltered, its a seal nursery with a lot of playful young seals and generally sleeping older ones. They wander right under the walkways and splash around in the tidal pool beneath the rocks. It was all our guide could do to get us back up to the shuttle.

08/25/26 - Remarkable Rocks - 1

The other must see were the Remarkable Rocks. They are indeed remarkable with their strange eroded forms almost as if they were arranged as a sculpture garden on a platform above the active sea. Walking out to the rocks, we could see the bleached branches of trees killed by the fire above the fresh green new growth. Once on the rocks, we were in a maze of gray and red stone in fantastic shapes. Many seemed balanced only by chance.
