Project Perth Travelogue Day 7 Part 1

Woke up at 7am today, the owners of the Observatory Guest House were already preparing breakfast for us. The breakfast consists of bacon, sausages, toast bread, coffee and orange juice.

After breakfast, we went to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse.

Inside the lighthouse, the guide was telling to us the history of the lighthouse and how life were hard for the lighthouse keepers as they did not have paid annual leave and not to mention that they were inhaling harmful vapor from the kerosene everyday. Thankfully now the lighthouse was fully automated.

Up at the lighthouse, the guide was pointing out to the sea that he saw some whales activities. At first it’s pretty hard to us to spot the whales as we were quite a distance away, after a while we managed to see gushes of water shooting out of the water.

Can you spot the fin of the humpback whale in the center of the photo?

The guide told us that we could get a closer look by walking thru a whale watching trail which was nearby.

One more shot of the naturaliste lighthouse before we proceed to the whale watching point.

It’s a 15 minutes sandy walking trail to the lookout point.

When we reached the lookout point, we already saw quite a number of whales in the sea but too bad my lens was not long enough for this.

This was the closest that my lens could bring me. My Nikon 55-200mm VR was maxed out.

Some visitors getting into the action too!

After we had taken our shots, we proceed back to Busselton.
