Some more of Albany with some finer weather happening for us . We went out to Torndirrup NP again , this photo from the bird is looking toward the peninsular , the buildings at the end of the beach are the whaling museum .
This is looking at the suburb of Goode Beach , Albany is across the bay to the right .
This is from from Marine Dr Lookout looking across the bay to Goode Beach & Torndirrup Peninsular , the entry into Albany harbour is to the right .
A few more days have been spent out at Two Peoples Bay NR - we love this place . The 2 rocks in the photo stand about 20m tall , and the split between them is about 3m wide .
After a hike up the track that leads around to Little Beach , we got this spectacular view of Two Peoples Bay . The 2 rocks from the previous photo are there , centre of photo above the trees .
Between that lookout and Little Beach are some great expanses of granite rocks , some trapping pools of water .
On the way into Two Peoples Bay , you cross over a creek that feeds into - or out of Lake Gardner . This is it , and Lake Gardner isn't easily accessible , and we don't fancy bush bashing our way in through this swampy snake infested area .
Back to views of Little Beach .
We had a quick swim & snorkel at Waterfall Beach in some cool crisp southern ocean water , thankfully it was a warm day outside .
Back out to Torndirrup NP again and checked out a road we'd driven past many times , and thinking it was a typical 4wd access sandy track , we hadn't been down it . Today however we found a gravel road that anyone could drive their normal car down , the road led us out to Sharpe Point . We are starting to fill in all the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle here - most of the pieces are coming together . This is the view back to the Gap and Natural Bridge , the lighthouse is slightly further around toward Cable Beach .
Some plants are still flowering , this one standing out from a sea of green shrubbery .
Views from the lookout were stunning . Sharpe Point is just that , a sharp point - check it out on the map .
This one is looking toward Albany wind farm and Cosy Corner & West Cape Howe ( a few of the places we've been to ).
This is looking back toward Frenchmans Bay , across the harbour to Two Peoples bay and the last hazy mountain is Manypeaks .
Just a little note about this area , quite a large amount was burnt out a few years ago , apart from the few dead trees still standing , it has regenerated beautifully .
