So – another damp
day. Strong gusty winds and squalls as another front passes over the
region.
Marco and I braved
the conditions and did some local sightseeing.
I wanted to go to the
Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, but as a Whitefella Sacred Site, we were
not allowed to approach it without coughing up money. Bugger that –
all we want to do is look at the view – which - because of the
weather - was obscured by cloud and rain. We waited out one of
the heavier showers before heading back down the coast, picking up
some food and returning to our lodgings for lunch.
After lunch, just as an
afternoon nap appeared to be the order of the day, the skies cleared,
so we donned our wet weather gear and set off again. This time
heading south along Caves Road. By the time we got to Canal Rock, the
weather was closing in again. We then headed further south to Moses
Rock where there was a cave we could investigate without having to
go through a gate in a fence and cough up more money. (We're getting
sick of this Whitefella Sacred Site business, where everything of
interest is fenced off and access is only available to those who
grease the palms of the gatekeepers. It never used to be like this!)
A scramble up some
dunes and through some scrub and we were at the cave site. The entire
length of the coast from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin is riddled
with limestone caves like this.
