Day 167 - West of Bremer Bay

Another beautiful day although the easterly breeze was verging on a wind in exposed areas.  We did a miserly 50km today but in so doing saw some more spectacular coastline, without being exposed to the bad road syndrome.  We were glad of this because it took us two hours to wash the mud off the car from yesterday's jaunt.

Bremer Bay is surrounded by a myriad of bays, beaches and headlands, most of which are accessible by road.  Scenes we are becoming increasingly used to appeared before us again and again, each different and unique in its own way, but all exhibiting the same qualities - spectacular, pristine and beautiful. The pictures will demonstrate what we mean.

We did not search for wildflowers today but were impressed by the banksias at Short Beach.

There is not a lot of industry in Bremer Bay, so you can imagine our surprise when we came across the 888 Abalone Farm near Back Beach.  We were surprised not only that it is there but also because it is so big.

This trip has been a real eye opener for us.
