Bok at the Pinnacles & Perth Royal Mint

We were not sure if my dad would like a day-trip to the hot, and fly invested, Pinnacles. However, Oupa really enjoyed seeing this
strange natural phenomenon out in the "desert".

180-degree Panorama

My dad is 1.85m tall, so this give you an idea of scale.

One of the mandatory tourist shots...we'd have preferred a living one, but they proved quite elusive on this trip.

The Indian Ocean and some typical W.A. coastal flora. Beautiful!

Yep, a honest-to-goodness Aussie road-sign on the way North to Cervantes.

The jetty at Lancelin.

PERTH ROYAL MINT - SUNDAY, 22 Jan '12


A statue commemorating the first gold (nugget) found in W.A., roughly 600km West of Perth.

Oupa and the kids with some full-scale molds of actual gold-nuggets found in Australia. Huge!

Eugene, digging for treasure!

All that digging is warm-work!!
