Taken on the Indian Ocean side of Cape Leeuwin on a day when the sun wouldn’t shine for anything!

In the far south west of Western Australia is the famed Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park, with a coastal walking trail connecting the two capes ( about 100 kms long, give or take a few). Wyadup is not all that far from the growing town of Dunsborough (about 15 minutes) and about 20 minutes from Margaret River, of wineries fame. There are absolutely no facilities at Wyadup so come prepared!

This is looking down on the Indian Ocean from a cliff close to Canal Rocks. The time of year is late winter and we are currently in the middle of a dry, sunny spell of weather. Canal Rocks is around 350kms south west of Perth, Western Australia

Canal Rocks, Yallingup, Western Australia. / One of those mornings where the air smells sooooo good. For enquires about canvas prints, or photographic prints larger than Redbubble options, please contact me via bubblemail

I must be honest – we didn’t walk ALL of it! After all, it is over 100 kms from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin and this walking trail hugs the coast and cliff tops for all of that distance. But we did do several short sections, as I shall be showing during the coming days and weeks. This section is at Wyadup, in the south west of Western Australia some 300 kms south of Perth. We are looking north to Canal Rocks which is just a couple of kms by the walking trail but nearer 15 kms by road. The whole area is part of the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park

We are still on the Cape to Cape walking track as we look behind us at Yallingup Beach, the nursery for most of our state’s top surfers and one of our very favourite places. This is on the Indian Ocean coast some 320kms south west of Perth, Western Australia. I might add that the ocean is usually far more active than it is in this picture. This is all part of the Leeuwin/Naturaliste National Park.

Before the boardwalk and bridge were constructed about 12 years ago people (mostly fishermen) had a rough scramble over the rocks and then a very precarious walk across this “canal” on a rather rickety plank of wood, with but a single length of rope to serve as a handrail. Now every man and his dog can get there and a popular pastime is to just lean on the handrail and watch the ocean as it slams into the rocks and sends mini tidal waves rushing up underneath the bridge. I have spent many an hour doing just that, with camera clicking away almost non stop and this is where just a couple of weeks ago I finally got the sunset picture I had been after for 20+ years. Canal Rocks – as the area is known – came by it’s name from the channels, or canals, that had been formed in the rocks by countless eons of wave erosion. It is now part of the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park. Over the years several unwary fishermen have been swept off the rocks by sudden and unexpected King waves and never seen again.

Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, Western Australia
-
The coastline surrounding Sugarloaf Rock in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park in Western Australia. The rock itself dominates the coastline near Cape Naturaliste. A beautiful area with rugged outcrops it is worth the drive. To get to this point drive onto Sugarloaf Rock Road west of Dunsborough, which is itself approx 3 hours plus south of Perth. Camera: Olympus FE 240 compact

It was a very gloomy day which lent itself to B&W. / Cape Leeuwin is near Augusta in the far South West corner of Australia at the point where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean. Pentax istDL Sigma 28-80 f11 1/500 / /

The Indian Ocean at Cape Leeuwin – the most south westerly point of Australia and some 400+ kms south of Perth. As can be seen it was a rather stormy day and almost every front that comes in crosses our coast at this point, which makes it a great place for taking photos. Sony Alpha350 dslr / 18-70 lens with x4ND filter / Hand held (too windy and the rocks too slippery to risk putting it on a tripod)

This was a repeating scene at Redgate Beach when we visited there last Saturday, 14 March. Redgate is on the Indian Ocean coast of Western Australia some 300+ kms south west of Perth. It is a very popular surfing location, as are most of the beaches along this 120 kms stretch of coastline. Sony Alpha350 dslr / 18-70 lens with nd filter / Aperture preferred set to f11 / Hand held

Cape Leeuwin, the most south westerly point of Australia and some 430 or so kms south of Perth is THE place to be with a camera when it is stormy. I have captured many almost identical scenes from this location in the waterwheel car park but none have shown such a threatening sky as this one. I couldn’t take this from the car because the waterwheel’s feeder trough was in the way so I had to risk being blown off my feet while I waited for the right moment to click the button. Amazingly the sky was lighter to the right and was close to providing a shaft of sunlight – but I couldn’t wait for that! / I don’t mind telling you that I was back in the car within a couple of seconds of taking this one! / We are right at the extreme southern end of the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park and also at the end of the 110 km long Cape to Cape walking track. / Camera was Sony Alpha 350 dslr with 18-70 lens and nd filter / Hand held (tripod would have blown over) / f5.6

Another spot on the Cape to Cape walking trail that stretches from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin in the far south west of Western Australia. Access is the Lake Cave turn off on Caves Road. Instead of then turning in to the cave keep going along the sometimes rough and rather corrugated dirt road. There are a few side turnings, some of which are worth having a look down, but for now keep going straight and you’ll eventually come to this point. There’s not an awful lot to see but you will at least have achieved something! / It can get very rough down here so it’s perhaps not the best idea in the world to go clambering over those rocks because massive king waves can suddenly rear up out of nowhere and drag the unwary out with them. / At this point you would be something like 380kms+ south of Perth and about 25 minutes from Cape Leeuwin

Conditions were far from good when I took this – in fact Betty was having kittens and cursing my hobby for all she was worth! But honestly, what right minded photographer could resist such a scene? And then the icing on the cake was the spray almost enveloping the big Western Gull and giving him a ghost like appearance. / We were at Cape Leeuwin, on the far south westerly corner of Western Australia about 440 kms from Perth, parked beside the water wheel on a gloriously rough and overcast day. The rock with the gulls was right in front of me and I was wondering whether it would be worth a photo because the light was Bad and it was drizzling. Suddenly the sun tried to break through and I was out of the car in a flash – wind or no wind, drizzle or no drizzle, this was my chance. There was no time to erect the tripod – I leaned back on the bonnet of the car and proceeded to fire away and it was only afterwards that I realised I had not given a thought to aperture or shutter settings. However I was on aperture priority so all was well. / How many of us, I wonder, do exactly the same in order to get that one magic photo? Most of us, I bet! / Camera was my Sony Alpha 350 dslr / 55-200 lens with cp filter / Aperture priority – f8. / hand held
