Here we are parked across the road from the Leschenault Inlet with our lounge window overlooking the water with all the bird life feeding.
 |
| Pelicans, egrets, sea gulls and herons abound here. |
 |
| The Henton Cottage was built in 1841 as the "Prince of Wales Hotel" now is full of old collectibles. |
 |
| The Church of St Nicholas is reputed to be the smallest church in Australia. It is only 3.6m wide and 8.2m long. |
 |
| The roses around Henton Cottage are so beautiful with colour. |
 |
| These views are from Marlston Hill Lookout |
We climbed the Marlston Hill Lookout with its spiral staircase gives 360 degree views. Whew, quite a fete in the wind.
 |
| Bunbury Lighthouse served the port for 33 years until 1903 and moved from Marlston Hill to its present site in 1971 to create a prominent Bunbury landmark. |
LESCHENAULT WATERWAY DISCOVERY CENTRE and JETTY WALK
We unpacked our bikes and hit the footpath along to this area. The weather has warmed up and is getting up to 28 degrees so rode all the way out to the jetty where we sat and pondered the day! As I was attempting to get a decent photo of the white faced heron, I noticed the undergrowth and sand being disturbed and found it to be a huge stingray about one metre wide. Wow. I was fascinated so stood watching it and as locals came out on their walk, also stopped to watch. Interesting talking to locals about different places they and we have travelled.
 |
| Wayne at the end of the jetty - smoke very low ad dense here today from burn-off's further inland before the summer. |
 |
| Look at those huge eyes starring up at me. |
 |
| Very smokey today. Looking back towards the caravan park far right at the light coloured building. |
 |
| Large smoke clouds |
 |
| As you can see the black smoke clouds looking towards north-east. |
 |
| Amazing sunset tonight. |
