WEATHER: Rain storms off and on. Highs in 60s
All night long we were serenaded by some animal. We thought the noise came from these parrots, but later found out it is frogs. It sounded like a jungle.
It stormed during the night. The wind was very loud, and our little container house was noisy.
We took a short drive south to the town of Augusta. It is on the southwest tip of Australia. The Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean meet here. National Geographic named this the #3 ocean view of the world.
While it rained, we ducked into a cute coffee shop and used their wifi.
We visited two wineries in the region. The first was very tiny. The sign said to honk your car horn to get the owner's attention from his vegetable garden. The owner is an 80-year-old Italian emigrant. The wine was very cheap, but not that great. Instead of buying his wine, we bought some of his olives, tomatoes and figs.
The second winery was stylish, overlooking a pond, a pack of wild emus, and the vineyards. We had lunch there, some smoked trout pate. Yum. I don't think any of the wineries ever get very busy, as this area is pretty remote.
Then, we took a scenic drive around the area. Another big attraction here are caves. We've seen a lot, so didn't go to any.
This is our cute rental car in front of our cabin.
We relaxed in the afternoon, and hiked around the owner's property.
DINNER: Pasta. Side salad.
More pics of the cabin - inside and out - please.
