Was this too much saturation?

I was amazed by all the tiny pools and reflections and rocks. Wave rock itself is only half the show.

Is this the hippo's yawn rock? Can someone google it for me?

I didn't know it but wave rock as we know it is only the erosion pattern on the one side of a very large and beautiful rock.

One climbs up the top, stays well within the concrete fence, and there are many stunning rocks and small pools to walk between and sit quietly next to.

And after that go camera crazy because it's epic.

Yes we've posted lots of wave rock shots... Forgive us.

Greg

Lorenzo has been working hard on the road....

What a trooper..... So it goes a little something like this.... "Dear Mr X, First we would like to express our gratitude for contacting this customer service department by means on complaint form received on 30th June 2010. In reply thereto we would like to inform you that....." basically the bank wins every time!

Wave rock formations and flora....

I've never seen moss flowers like this.... Wish that would grow in my back yard :)

Craig

Salt Lake fever.....

We all got out and soaked up the atmosphere at this salt lake en route to Albany.... It was nice and soon you'll see some more photos from the guys.... Stay tuned for Tawfs Bunyip evidence.....

Craig

We have seen some really impressive red gums today....

...and I am feeling a lot better after yesterdays unexplained tiredness....
Craig

I was very impressed by this lookout in Esperance

Craig

Yesterday in Esperance

You probably saw Greg's interpretation of this spiral staircase up to a lookout in Esperance yesterday.... This trip has been interesting the way we all have different interpretations of the same subject matter.

Craig

Winner of the extreme gymnastic efforts during creative photography award

Well yea we had to.....

Surfin Aus on Wave Rock!

Craig

Impressive rock formations are in abundance at Wave Rock

We all went off and got so involved in these rock formations..... Pretty soon we were all Coooooeeeeeing to find each other

Craig

En route to Albany from Hyden

We thought we should check to see if this wasn't some kind of accident....

Turns out some council workers just couldn't have been bothered taking the rubbish with them :(

Craig

Tawf loved Esperance

Despite not feeling great and sleeping most of the day it was great to see Tawf and the guys enjoy tis place.....
Craig

Triple layer sambas.... Cause you can't live without that when your roughing it across Australia

I've put in two from a similar viewpoint because I really liked the glow on the tide.

Twilight beach formation

Clearly some type of erosion going on here, but why should it like this?

Magical.

Safely beyond words

Did we mention that it was well worth he drive around to salmon beach?

Greg

The old life preserver station

In this box, tied to the rope, is one of those round orange life preservers that they throw out to people who slip off the rocks.

From the Esperance lookout

Not a bad afternoon for it.

There are photo panoramas coming too but we need weeks if not months to put those together.

Greg

Last night we crossed the Nullabor and this morning Lorenzo was presented with his crossing certificate

Despite camping in the rain we all slept well and were glad to have made the accomplishment...... ozfourtunus now rolling on to Esperance, Wave Rock, Albany, Warpole, Freemantle and Perth.....
