Sunday Selections

 Linking up with Elephant's Child for Sunday Selections

My theme is Rock formations and Beaches with photos taken on our trip to the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.

The cave area was spectacular and I particularly enjoy watching the waves crashing onto the rocks and trying to capture them in my photos.

Some people were more adventurous than me (and probably younger!)

Point Lowly Lighthouse

Manned for 90 years, the Point Lowly beacon became automated and was eventually delisted from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority register. Since 1995, the lighthouse has been owned by the City of Whyalla.

Completed in 1883, the lighthouse eased the way for maritime traffic around Point Lowly. The original 15 metres tall tower was extended by eight metres in 1909

Cape Le Grande, Esperance, WA

We set off  from Esperance for the drive to Cape Le Grande National Park  on Day 10 of our trip.   Cape Le Grande National Park  is approximately 56 km east of Esperance.

On the Cape Le Grande road

Frenchman's Peak is a massive Granite outcrop

We didn't climb up to the cave but zoomed in on this one

Frenchman's Peak was seen from quite a distance and the name comes from the shape of the hats of French troops in the 1800's

Hellfire Bay

Hellfire  Bay had a good walkway down to the beach

Our next stop was at Lucky Bay and we were very lucky there as there was a Coffee Van right on the beach -very Lucky for us!

Coffee on the beach - perfect!

The colours were stunning

And then another surprise as we walked along the beach - kangaroos having a fish lunch!

Our next stop was Thistle Cove, another beautiful beach and Whistling Rock. We stood under it and there was a slight whistling sound.

And more wildflowers along the way.
