Towards Perth

We are continuing towards Perth, taking the South Coast Highway to get there (the scenic route).  Along the way we stopped in The Valley of the Giants.  This giant Tingle trees in this area grow up to 70 meters tall.  They are similar in many aspects to the California Redwoods and are a sight to behold.  We took the opportunity to do a elevated walk through the canopy of one of the taller groves. 

Here is a photosphere from the  walkway, great views!

Back on the ground you see the scale of the trees (many over 400 years  old).  They can have a girth of over 20 meters.

Continuing southwest, we drove to the southwestern most point in Australia, Cape Leeuwin.  Here the Indian and Southern (Antarctic) Oceans meet.  We climbed the lighthouse here for some great views.

As always, WA is keeping it weird.

We wandered around the Cape for a while, before resuming our drive towards Perth.
