On the Road Again Perth Odessey 2010

Day 28

2/9/2010  

Today I conquered the world::

As most know my medical history, today I climbed to the top of the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, inside the building is a 179 step circular staircase, I have not been able to do this for over 3 years, today I closed my eyes taking each step slowly and holding the hand rail and resting on each of the 4 landings I made it to the top where the view was breathtaking.  The return journey was taken backwards, Sheryle was very worried that I would have a bad turn; thankfully all was well, although I did require a coffee at the café to recuperate.

We were talking today that this time last year we were dipping our toes into the water at the most northern tip of  Australia Cape York, today we were at the diagonal  opposite, the south western tip of Australia Cape Leeuwin WA and it was awe-inspiring, following this we saw our very first Karri Trees, treemendous.

For the next couple of days we are base camping at the Roundtu It Eco Park in Northcliff (34’38’535s  116’08’425e), cannot really say it’s Big 4 but it is in the bush with kangaroos, all sorts of birds and they breed alpacas.  Tomorrow off sightseeing.

Thomas front, slept for 4 hours last night, YEY.

Weather:     Good sunshine when not raining, most of the rain was when we were driving.

Catch you tomorrow

John & Sheryle
