Today we left Fremantle and headed further south, driving through coastal towns for about 2 hours before reaching Bunbury. Here we stopped for lunch and sorted out what we'll do next. On the drive down we were comparing towns to those that we know back home. Rockingham was the Bateman's Bay of WA, being only an hour from Perth it looked and felt like a seaside holiday destination. Mandurah was definitely the Noosa of WA's south coast. Apartments everywhere with great views of the Indian Ocean and ritzy cafes and  big houses.

We also stopped in at the Yangolrup National Park and saw the Thrombolites, round rocks that form from the calcium carbonate sitting in the lake. They are growing rocks that increase in size about 2mm every year.

On we drove, the kids watching a movie in the back of the motorhome so no complaints from them. We decided to stop at Busselton, the site of the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. We camped across the road from the ocean and enjoyed an afternoon rest.
