“Where Two oceans meet” , a lighthouse built to facilitate navigation, simply overwhelming, loved the place, and the staff was helpful, friendly and made you feel so welcome.

Stopped here and sat under a tree for lunch. It is a beautiful area and right were the ocean meets the river is gorgeous. We even saw a large fish in the shallows feeding on the seaweed. We saw the fin which turned out to be its tail and went to investigate.

This is an amazing investment for the Augusta community. It makes whale watching tours so much easier, the boat ramps, parking and facilities are amazing. The water is so clear you can see fish and stingrays in the water and you can fish off the marina rocks. Excellent.

This is also known as Boranup Lookout. You need a four wheel drive vehicle to get here. Travel through the Karri Trees of Boranup Forrest to see the two oceans (Indian and Southern) meet.

If you enjoy the rumble of a dirt road - easy for 2WD - and some special views, jump out at Skippy Rock and follow a 200m easy walk north to see some very cool bits of geology as well as the sea views.

While we were walking we found the Whale Rescue Memorial. There were lots of pictures and everything was written in details. On July 30, 1986, a pod of 114 killer whales stranded in Town Beach, Augusta. The authorities asked for volunteers to save these killer whales. Many came to the rescue. They carried 96 whales on trucks and led them to sheltered waters. Then those who survived were led to the ocean. Everyone was excited. They had saved killer whales. Wow! I applaud for what they had done. It was a complete success!
