In 2011, we made a quick stopover at Busselton as we head down south; Busselton Jetty is the longest timber built jetty in the world, the 1.8 km long walk offers fantastic views off Australia’s southwestern coast.
After Busselton, we drove to Yallingup Caravan Park, set up our tents for the night and took a short walk to Yallingup beach. The park had a kitchen and toilets which were quite clean but kitchen utensils are limited so be sure to bring your own. We were able to have a quick simple dinner that night and a hearty breakfast the next morning before moving out.
We visited the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park which was famous for Canal Rocks and Ngligi Caves, both which were a short drive from the caravan park. Canal Rocks is a patchwork of rocky islands sculpted by the waves of Indian Ocean, the water penetrates the rocks resulting in an unusual pattern of coastal erosion that resemble canals. We were able to climb on to the rock formation to view the waves crashing onto the rocks but perhaps the most significant thing we could remember were the flies. Flies everywhere – in your nostrils, eyelids, mouth; we had to wrap ourselves up to prevent involuntary snacking.
The Ngligi Caves is an underground limestone cave, it maintains a constant temperature of 20°C, a welcome escape from the heat and flies.
