The South West Adventure

After Bremer Bay we headed to Albany again - we were there a couple of months ago but decided to go back to explore a little more. We visited the Princess Royal Fortress Military Museum and Kade was thrilled to see all of the military paraphernalia.

We made our way to Demark next and explored some beaches that we did not get a chance to see last time. Greens Pool, Elephant Rocks, Elephant Cove and Conspicuous Cliff Beach.

Greens Pool located in William Bay National Park

Elephant Rock - can you see the herd of Elephants?

That is Kade standing on top of the rock in Elephant Cove - he decided he wanted
to jump off the rock after seeing some else try it. He swam
out all by himself and .....

jumped off!!!

Surfing Bremer

Well we made it to Bremer Bay to visit the Schuelter's little piece of heaven. We had a great time and really loved the place, the view, the company and the surfing. We had the opportunity to visit a few different beaches to catch the waves. The boys surfed three days and I managed to get in two days. I think we are hooked!!!!!!
