Whalers Cove, Salmon Holes and Stony Hill on a rainy day

The Lookout at the Salmon Holes

Whalers Cove @ Quaranup























Stairs down to the Salmon Holes































We spent some time today in the Torndirrup National Park and enjoyed some off Albany’s stunning coast line. 
We walked the Stony Hill Heritage Trail which has lookouts with magnificent 360 degree views.  Unfortunately it was a very overcast and misty day, so the views were not so great.  We had a downpour as we were walking, got soaked and as we were running back to the car Dad saw a huge black snake slithering across the path.  Being the gentleman he is he let the snake go into the bush before continuing on.
We spent some time on the lookout at the Salmon Holes which is named after the salmon that seek shelter in the calmer waters.  We saw a fisherman who had just caught a salmon.  After some whistling and calling out he obligingly held up his salmon for the camera.
We also spent a lot of time in amazement at the vibrant contrast of natural colours among the wildflowers.  Water droplets on the petals were an added bonus for our photographer ‘Becki’
