Trip to Lancelin

Colourful golden blooms on the trees on the road to Lancelin.

Terry is stopping to check the surfboard is secure. It was very windy along this road.

I thought I saw a mountain in the distance. There are not really mountains in this part of Australia. They are more like hills.

It is very dry here.

A large cuttlefish bone. It was longer than my sandal.
If you look back on my blog and look at the pictures from the aquarium you can see a live cuttlefish.

Do you see how clear and clean the water is?

We didn't bring a four wheel drive so we parked in the carpark.

On Friday, Nov. 19th we took a trip to Lancelin. It was a chance to get out of the city and show Derek a bit of the countryside. It was a very hot day, 39 degrees celsius, a great day to be at the beach. Terry and I even got in the water to cool off. Lancelin is a one and a half to two hour trip north of Perth. It has good waves for surfing and it has a gorgeous white sand beach. Derek and Blaise rented longboards and Braeden brought his own surfboard. The boys had a great day surfing. Terry relaxed on the blanket and I enjoyed a long walk on the beach. The sand was so soft and the water was so clear. There were times when I was the only person on the beach. It was really peaceful.
