After the Lighthouse we did the Ngilgi Caves. We have done a few Caves on our travels but hey! another one wont hurt.

They have just set up a new lighting system using LEDs, as they don't heat up and destroy the surroundings. The grand opening was for the night of our visit so we got the full range of effects as they tried them out. A bit of a bonus.

 

Helen Liked this one!

All very spectacular and a bit Disney land but a pleasant change to all the dimly lit caves we have been in. I think it will be a hit with the Public.

 

There is some lovely Beaches along the coast and Hamlin Beach was about the best. The Windsurfers were having a ball coming in from about a KM out riding the waves in. There was a steady moderately strong breeze to keep them going. It all looked like fun to me though I bet the water was cold, and what about the Sharks!!

 

From here we drove to the other end of the Coast at Cape Leeuwin and the other lighthouse. Unfortunately it was closed for the day as they were removing Asbestos from the roofs of some of the buildings. Oh well one lighthouse is enough to see anyway. They are mostly round,stand tall and have a light at the top. A pretty standard design I suppose.

 

Next time more Caves, again.

Until next time.
