South West Australia December 2018

Some photos taken on a recent trip to South West Australia over Christmas, the weather was certainly a bit better then back home in the UK


A couple pink lakes which were just by the side of the road on the way to Albany







This lot were taken in Two People Bay Nature Reserve which is a short drive outside of Albany

The very nice Little Beach...















This is a photo of the Field of Lights which is currently in Albany and to quote the website for it is "an immersive art installation by Bruce Munro

illuminating the Avenue of Honour at Mt Clarence in homage to the Anzacs who departed from Albany for the Great War"




A couple from Mount Brown Lookout at York on the way from Perth to Albany





More might follow if I get around to sorting them out!

Great Photos Colin, Mrs Fox and me are considering a visit there perhaps next year, we are at the 'Brochure' stage...
You've certainly given us a good taster......

Well I would certainly recommend it, it is one my favourite bits of Australia and plenty to see, great climate, easy to get around in the car, nice beaches, scenery, caves, wine if that interests you, lots of stuff North of Perth as well like Monkey Mia with it's Dolphins....

I am sure you would love it.

I still have more photos when I have sorted them out...

Fantastic shots Colin. The colours are stunning. Any idea what makes the lakes pink?

Thanks! It sounds like it is algae that like the Salty lakes which produce carotenoids, such as Dunaliella salina. I have learnt something today anyway I think they can get a lot pinker than that one though.

Wonderful scenery Colin.

The beach looks very peaceful and I can just imagine myself relaxing there and listening to the sea.

Just like Robinson Crusoe you mean I could imagine myself there today rather than at work....
