* Woken up super early due to workers (between 4 and 6am), luckily went back to sleep until 8.30.
* Visited Bunkers Bay (looked like South of France or Corsica).
* Wasted our time at the Lighthouse. + hot walk with flies...
* Went to recommanded beaches: Yallingup and Injidup. The second one was our favourite! Big white stretch with no-one around. Beautiful turquoise water with some waves.
* Got burried with sand under a really big wave! Loads of fun! A bot less fun trying to get rid of all the sand everywhere!
* Had lunch in an eclectic bakery at Margaret River.
* Drove to Pemberton for the night. Our 1st campsite / night in the tent!

* Our hosts are gone to work. We packed and planed, before leaving their place by 10.30.
* Shopping runs for camping supplies: Kmart + camping shop + Aldi + Coles.
* By 2pm we are on the road south towards Margaret River.
* Could not find a campsite for the night so decided to go to the YHA in Dunsborough.
* Walk on the beach at sunset (but the beach is facing the wrong direction).
* Busy hostel, full of farm workers (foreigners for 2nd year visa). Went to bed early.

* Bank/Public Holiday in Western Australia.
* The 4 of us went to Rottnest Island for the day. Crossed by ferry.
* Once on the island we booked bicycles for the day. Did a bit of groceries for lunch and headed towards the other side of the island.
* Damien did great despite not having ridden in 2 years (when he learnt for the 1st time to ride).
* Great weather, lovely scenery, gorgeous beaches!
* Lunch stop on the beach called "the Narrow". Went for a swim.
* Cycled back to "village", gave bicycles back and went for a drink and nibbled.
* Search for Quokkas + selfie time with one!
* Back on the ferry.
* Lazy evening, Janet cooked for us (delicious curry) and started watching Zootopia on Netflix but our working host fell asleep in front of it.

* Janet is at work, Daithi is recovering from yesterday. We had a lazy/easy morning.
* Damien & I took the bus and went to Fremantle aka Freo.
* Went to the market, had lunch there, saw the prison (the outside of it), crossed town, saw the Round House and the artsy beach, crossed back town and headed home.
* Made plans with Janet and Daithi for diner and evening: restaurant + open air cinema.
* Mixed up in the restaurant booking but found a different one and ate good food.
* The open air cinema was pretty cool. It was several short comedies from different countries, some really good ones. We had great spots (comfy beanbags not to far from the screen) and ate cupcakes from Freo's market.
