Table Cape

  

We are on the move again. Today we are driving to Strahan on the central west coast. 

We were packed and ready to go fairly early because this would be one of our longer transfers. We made a short detour up to the Table Cape lighthouse.

There's a nice display that identifies the geological features that you cansee from the lookout.

The view to the east (above) covers the bays and penisulars that run almost back as far as Devonport.

The View to the West (above) overlooks Boat Harbour Beach (township top left of picture) and Rocky Cape which dominates the horizon.

On a clear day (like today), The Nut is visible behind the outer section of Rocky Point.

The foreground is interesting as well.

Have you worked it out yet?

How about now? What may look like cotton fields are in fact government sanctioned medicinal poppy fields! The semi volcanic soil is fantastic for growing this type of crop. Much of the area is covered in tulips. Unfortunately, the flowers aren't out at this time of year.


Obviously, there is also a lighthouse. One quick lap & we were on our way to Strahan.
