Took a quiet stroll through town before heading out to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse.
Very interesting tour, one thing which impressed me was the internal stair treads are hand carved teak, initially carved on both sides so they could be turned over when the tread had worn out. After over 100 years they still do not require turning over.

Then it was off to Ngilgi Cave for a tour of the oldest tourist attraction in Western Australia.

This tour was only part guided and then you head off by yourselves at your own pace. I thought this was better than those fully guided tours where you have to keep up with the mob as we could just take our time looking at what we wanted.

After this tour we headed down the coast to Cowaramup to check out the Candy Cow ( a lolly shop ) and the country side before heading back to Dunsborough.
