Cape Leeuwin

Cape Leeuwin is the most south-westerly mainland point of the Australian continent, in the state of Western Australia. A few small islands and rocks, the St Alouarn Islands, extend further in Flinders Bay to the east of the cape. The nearest settlement, north of the cape, is Augusta. Wikipedia

Nannup Storm
These storms created an impressive backdrop to the Blackwood River Esturary at Augusta yesterday afternoon. Similar, but smaller cells were created this afternoon as a result of bushfires in the area.

Lonely Laundry
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse stands proud and tall, defiant to the winds and storms that rage around the Cape. Adjacent lie the keepers cottages on the wind swept ridge surrounded by seas that are never still. An extenal laundry and toilet were necessary adjuncts to the main residenses, however they now stand forlorn and neglected, but defiant to winds they have endured over the decades.
