gon' south | part three

I've been super busy so kind of forgot to blog....oops! Here's the final part of our trip down south...

After all those beautiful forests we thought it was high time we headed towards the sea, so headed back down towards Cape Leeuwin to see where the two oceans meet...

Dan's brother spent the whole car journey telling us about a youtube video where you can see two oceans moving in completely different directions, so I was expecting something along the lines of moses splitting the seas. Sadly there was absolutely no different between the two oceans, but it was pretty cool to visit regardless.

From there we started heading back up the coast towards Perth. We'd planned to visit a couple of Australia's awesome caves whilst away so made sure to take half a day to visit Jewel Cave.

Jewel Cave is the biggest cave open to the public in WA and it is absolutely spectacular. We had an extremely knowledgeable guide who lead us down more steps than I can count and through all the chambers explaining all the amazing formations as we went.

It was about lunch time by the time our tour was over so we grabbed a snack and headed further north to Bussleton, a seaside town around 220km south of Perth.

Busselton is renouned for it's jetty, which at 2km is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. The jetty's closed for ships these days but is kept busy by tourism and the local fishermen, who you'll find casting lines all along the jetty. We took a nice walk to the end and back before a wonder along the beach and back in to town for dinner. And with full tummies, big grins and memories to last a lifetime we headed back to the car for the drive home.
