Torndirrup National Park

We took a scenic drive from Albany along Bay View Drive to Torndirrup National Park. We started with Quarantine Hill which was alright. Expected to be able to go up to the hill but, it was closed. Then, we went to Frenchman Bay to experience the beach. We saw a man fishing. I think we were a bit too loud and the guy kept looking at us.
Then, we went to The Gap & Natural Bridge where the two natural features carved from ancient granite by the forces of nature. The Gap features a 25 metre sheer drop to the ocean. The wind was not strong and it was low tide, hence, the waves was not strong. I was waiting for the big waves actually.



It was getting quite hot (~22c) when we were at Blowholes. When the wind is strong and big waves, the water will actually come out from the holes. We saw a few small ones only.




Time to break for lunch. We went to Whale world for lunch. Yummy food after all the walking and hiking....


Then, we continued to Salmon Holes where all the salmons would come in the evening. We saw a man caught a really big salmon. He was saying that there will be even bigger ones later in the evening. Yupe, we saw men were fishing at the beach.


Stony Hill was awesome. We climbed up to the rocks and we were able to see so far. We were really blessed by the sunny weather.


Later on, we drove to Wind Farm where we could see so many windmills. These were here to generate power. Again, there's no wind..
