Two days in southwestern Australia

Told you it would be a brief dalliance. We basically spent one day in the wine-producing and generally gastronomically-pleasing Margaret River region, then one day in Tall Timber Country, whose name says it all.

Here's Faye quaffing a 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon at a posh restaurant. The meal was paid for by Faye's 'Boro friends for her 30th. Cheers lasses! Look at that steak...

Lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin, Australia's most southwesterly point.


It's where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. We're heading for the Southern Ocean, but I can't help thinking back to the good times on the Indian Ocean. Hence my stance.


My shadow, on a tree next to the 40m-high platform I'm standing on. This is Tall Timber Country, evidently.


This is one of the many beautiful beaches on the Southern Ocean. Bit too cold for a swim mind.
