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.

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

More spectacular wildflowers before arriving in beautiful Kalbarri.

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.

Checked out some bars includung the recently opened @bertscitybeach, Margaritas, sunsets & a great lunch @roseandcrownguildford. A visit to Fremantle, was where we continued our interest of shipwrecks on the WA Coast....lots more on this will come soon.

We`ve been enjoying some special time with family, long cuppas by the lake, sitting around the campfire, strolling through the cute town of Nannup. Great lunch @nannupbrewingco, more wildflowers & relaxed drives through the countryside south of Perth.

We have just visited Graham`s hometown of Kojonup & took a drive through some of the property once owned by his parents. The crops in the area are excellent & all should have a great harvest soon. Now in Nannup with family & enjoyed a beautiful walk to town via some beautiful wildflowers, crossing over the Blackwood River & look at the pic with flood levels...look right up top at the 1982 flood!

We had a wonderful 2 nights in Maleeya`s Studio & really enjoyed a walk around the property meeting their chooks & pet Highland Cows & Peter (our host) joining us to introduce us to them & give them a comb. The property commercially grows Bamboo & the other trees & surrounds are beautiful. We look forward to returning one day, spending longer to enjoy the national park walks, local wineries & cafes.

We left the beautiful coast & headed inland via Ravensthorpe for lunch and then onto our property stay at Maleeyas Studio Accommodation....didn`t look too flash from outside but it is very tastefully decorated & comfortable with views of Porongurup National Park....loved the fire! A bonus was having a Thai Restaurant on-site. Thai born Maleeya & Swiss born Peter are fabulous hosts.
