Exploring Bunbury 1

Tuesday 21 November.

I woke up at 5.30 and went for a walk along the path by the beach up the hill to beyond the lighthouse. It was a  beautiful morning except for the over friendly Bunbury flies. 

Along the walk there are signs describing the history of the local area.
On the beach are the remains of the site of the old quarry used to provide rocks for the roads from the 1890s.
The black basalt rocks are the remains of a lava flow that occurred ten million years ago.
There are signs warning dog owners about the dangers of  sea slugs.
This area is known as Wyalup Rocky Point.
A wooden carving - timber marker - on the foreshore.
Colourful plants grow along the pathway.
There were attractive views of the sea.
It was a great place to go for an early morning walk.
On the way back to the hotel I passed a garden with a giant model kangaroo.
Back at the hotel we had an excellent buffet breakfast. I enjoyed the muesli, yoghurt and fresh fruit on offer, plus a Danish pastry, while Robin had a cooked breakfast. We then continued exploring Bunbury.
