<\/a><\/p>\nThere was a little cafe at the light house we planned on having a cup of tea at, but we ended up having lunch instead.\u00a0 After eating we found a hiking trail to “the enchanted forest”.\u00a0 This trail headed right off the road towards the ocean which wasn’t too far away.<\/p>\n
The trail dropped of quickly and we soon found ourselves at the “enchanted forest”\u00a0 This was part of “The Great Southwest Walk” which is a 250 K hiking trail along the coast.\u00a0 Looks like it be a lot of fun to do if you had the time.\u00a0 Out trek took us down even closer to the ocean to a place called “Flat Rock”\u00a0 I was expecting this to be on the hillside, but it was actually in the water.\u00a0 Very cool area.<\/p>\n After our hike we went back to the campsite and did a little walking around town.\u00a0 Erin is continuing her quest for a sweatshirt.\u00a0 Still no luck.<\/p>\n While walking through town we found a sign to a fur seal viewing area.\u00a0 So we hopped back in the car and drove about 15k around another bay to another small community.\u00a0 From there we hopped on a trail along the coast line leading out to the seal viewing area.<\/p>\n It was a beautiful hike.\u00a0 Along the trail we encountered a “herd” ? of kangaroos.<\/p>\n They checked us out and headed off to the side of the trail a ways.\u00a0 One of them hopped over a nearby fence with ease.\u00a0 Its amazing how high they can jump.<\/p>\n [QUICKTIME http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/files\/2009\/06\/kangas.mov 640 500]<\/p>\n We continued down the trail until we reached the viewing area about 50 meters above the rocks below.\u00a0 There were a few lazy seals laying down there.\u00a0 Not as close as I’ve been in the bering strait but still pretty cool.<\/p>\n The blowhole just appeared to be waves crashing on the rocks.\u00a0 You can be the judge.\u00a0 Here is a little video of the spot.<\/p>\n [QUICKTIME http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/files\/2009\/06\/blowhole.mov 640 500]<\/p>\n After our night in Portland we started the long drive to Adelaide.\u00a0 A couple hours into the journey we stopped at Mt. Gambier and checked out a cave system.\u00a0 It was pretty cool.\u00a0 I guess there is some pretty decent cave diving in there as well if your certified to dive in level 3 caves.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>The sun was beginning to fade as we headed back to our car.\u00a0 When we got there we continued a few Kilometers down the road to a “blowhole” and “petrified forest”\u00a0 I put both in quotes because I don’t think either were really what they claimed.\u00a0 There was a sign stating that the petrified forest was not really an old forest, but rock formations instead.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
