We headed towards the small township of Augusta and drove out to Cape Leeuwin, the most southwesterly point of Australia. We went for a stroll around the lighthouse which opened in 1896 and is the tallest on the mainland. It is at this peninsula that the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. After taking in the views we checked out the historic waterwheel and headed back into town to the bakery for lunch. From the latest reports the fires in the Margaret River area were under control and the cooler weather meant further outbreaks shouldn't be an issue so we decided to double back and spend a couple of nights exploring the region. We found the Big Valley campground which is on a large sheep farm owned by Kevin and Shelley. It was a great spot and the owners were very welcoming. We met another family with four kids so we didn't see Caitlin and Cooper for the rest of the afternoon.
