The last day of our 5 night @eco_abrolhos_cruises produced more highlights beginning with a private tour for Graham by our skipper Jay, a visit to East Wallabi Island and one final walk, snorkel or swim in the pristine waters of Turtle Bay. I could have missed the flight back to Geraldton just to spend more time in the water 😎, but the flight back was to be yet another highlight! Wonderful, memorable experience. #travelwestoutbacktours #ecoabrolhoscruise #turtlebayabrolhosislands #pristinewaters #eastwallabi #shineaviation #houtmanabrolhosislands #lovedthistrip
Before cruising with @eco_abrolhos we visited the shipwreck museums in both Fremantle & Geraldton and as we drove across the Nullarbor we listened to Peter Fitzsimons account of the shipwreck of the Batavia - quite incredible how big the spice trade was back almost 400 years ago. We were very fortunate with the weather & tides to snorkel at the wreck site & see cannons and the anchor of the Batavia, as well as loads of coral & fish. #travelwesttours #ecoabrolhoscruise #tourismwa #bataviashipwreck #peterfitzsimons #amazingexperience #justdoıt
Just had to dedicate a post to the fabulous food on our @eco_abrolhos cruise - fishing trips available every day & you can watch the crew `pull the pots` full of crayfish......we also dined on fish caught by Graham, Terina & many others (unfortunately not Deb but pretty happy to experience deep sea fishing). Liam & Ford are on the fishing boat/tender to bait your hook (😀) & help you reel in your catch (or get you off a snag) and Jaynie, Jack, Mitch & `Dave` prepping the fish to be cooked up by chef Tom - simply delicious!! We were lucky to get to Traitors Island for some delicious freshly shucked oysters by Graham & other passengers.....I can`t shuck oysters & take photos as well!! #travelwesttours #ecoabrolhoscruise #crayfishing #seafood #freshlyshuckedoysters #sunsetdrinks #seeaustralia #deepseafishing #tourismwa
The @eco_abrolhos has two great glass bottom boats (`glassies`) for coral viewing & transporting us all to the smaller islands, like Morley Island. On arrival we met our first sea lion & this cruise also is great for birdwatching - the smaller grey bird is a Lesser Noddy, & the other with chick is a Caspian Tern. #travelwesttours #ecoabrolhoscruise #birdwatching #sealions #tourismwa #abrolhosislands #crystalclearwaters #seeaustralia
Our 5-night @eco_abrolhos cruise took in all three island groups. Post Office Island was where we met up with Jane Liddon of @liddonpearls & learnt about growing pearls on the Abrolhos. Jane`s home had some real quirky artwork & then we went to her studio to see the beautiful finished pieces of jewellery. The monument remembers many of the old crayfishermen & the lagoon is a favourite for their ashes. Check out the Dhufish caught by the lady standing next to Ford, the great deckhand on the fishing boat. Sunset drinks & nibbles - perfect way to end the day! #travelwesttours #ecoabrolhoscruise #tourismwa #coralreefs #deepseafishing #crystalclearwaters #seeaustralia #abrolhosislands #liddonpearls #iceplant #wasunsets
The Abrolhos Islands off Geraldton WA was once where Graham worked some 50 years ago as a deckhand on a crayfish boat. We chose to join an @eco_abrolhos cruise and it was the very best way to experience this special part of Australia. Besides plentiful amounts of seafood, this cruise exceeded our expectations. Jay & his crew were very hospitable, entertaining with stories, guided walks, snorkelling trips & hearing more about shipwrecks off the Abrolhos, especially the shipwreck of the Batavia, on 4 June 1629. #travelwesttours #ecoabrolhoscruise #abrolhosislands #geraldtonwa #bataviashipwreck #tourismwa #seeaustralia #washipwreckcoast #birdwatching #crayfish #sunsets #sealions
Heading south from Kalbarri, both sides of the road had some beautiful wildflowers & then we went around a bend in the road and there was the Pink Lake - stunning! Best viewing along the road into Port Gregory. #travelwesttours #pinklakehuttlagoon #portgregory #tourismwa #seeaustralia
Sadly, we could only spend one night in beautiful Kalbarri and will return one day to enjoy more of this area including the National Park. Great view from our motel and the Murchison River was simply magnificent! The skill of the crayfish skippers was amazing to watch as they navigate their way through ocean waves to the Gantheaume Bay channel & into the calmness of the river. #travelwesttours #kalbarri_wa #tourismwa #crayfishing #murchisonriver #shipwrecks #seeaustralia
Time to head into some WA Wildflower Country & although the season is almost over we still saw plenty of magnificent sights including lots of wheat & canola crops almost ready for harvest. Some of the country reminded us of the Lilydale Hills near Winton Qld - stunning countryside. #travelwesttours #wawildflowers #tourismwa #bigtractor #hawesarchitecture #mulewa #mingenew #seeaustralia
