On April 2nd we drove off for a long night drive down to Augusta, looking forward to an Easter long weekend full of beachside photography and a few four wheel driving adventures. Surprisingly there wasn't overly much wildlife running across the road on the trip, just the occasional Easter Bunny!
Whilst down there we did a bit of snorkeling and rock pool exploring, however one of the many highlights was certainly finding this gem of a beach. After a bit of exploring we managed to find Bobs track which lead us to the beach where we found a quiet spot and parked up for a while.
The timing of the trip meant that after visiting this beautiful beach, we were fortunate enough to capture the total lunar eclipse on camera that night at a pretty little spot along Hardy Inlet.
The following day we ventured out to the east to explore a few four wheel drive tracks along the coast. Having started in Augusta we traveled past Black Point, Jasper Beach and Jasper Lake (the largest freshwater lake in WA). Arrival at Black Point yielded a number of interesting sights, notably a large amount of volcanic activity that has previously occurred in the area.
For our last full day down south, we decided to drive from cape to cape. Our personal favourites from this part of the trip being:
- The huge Karri trees along Caves Rd and in 'The Dell'
- Self Guided caving through Calgardup Cave
- The pristine coastline near Injidup Spa
Pictures of which can be seen here:
When home bound we decided to visit a few places along the way including Busselton jetty and the Thrombolites at Lake Clifton.
It was a great trip overall and we saw many lovely places along the way. We are definitely planing to head back again soon, next time though hopefully with some neutral density filters.
