Day 663– 2nd April 2007 +7:00 GMT + 50

Went to the supermarket first thing with Jill and bought some food for breakfast. I then cooked sausage and eggs etc for Matin and I. We ate in hostel garden which was full of lizards called skinks a family of ten live in the garden and feed on cockroaches.

Today we drove to Torndirrup national park which is only about 15km West of Albany. Here we visited The Gap and The Natural Bridge which are rock formation created by erosion from the sea.

We had a walk around the national park and climbed up Stoney Hill.

We then stopped at the blow holes and walked on the kilometre track to them only to find the sea was not rough enough for them to be blowing. We drove across to Cable Beach to have a look.

Here we visited Emu Point and then onto Middleton Beach. We stopped at Middleton Beach for cake and coffee and sat by the water consuming it. We the drove to the golf course on Frenchman’s Road as the course at dusk is filled with hundreds of kangaroo’s.

So we took some photos of the kangaroos and then we then drove back to the hostel and Bruce who we had met from the previous hostel had turned up so we went to the local pub the Earl Of Spencer and had some dinner and a beer. The food here was very good and every ten minutes someone played a song on the bagpipes which to be honest is not what you want when you are trying to chat and enjoy a good meal. We went back to the hostel and played some pool before going to bed.
