An ode to late spring shot in late winter on the shore of Herdsman Lake.

A choose your own adventure path on the shores of Herdsman Lake.

Sailing away from Kalbarri for a few days, we return to Perth and Herdsman Lake at near dusk.

One word: warmth.  At least, as much as winter can bring you.  Just east of Port Gregory.

The view from inside Sanford’s house.

A field of wild flowers prepares to erupt in a carpet of colour near Port Gregory.

The mid afternoon glow bathes the Lynton ruins in a very warm light.

The jail at Lynton Hiring Station looks, based on its ruins, to have been a horrible place to be incarcerated.  The peaceful sandstone ruins don’t in anyway paint the picture of what it must have been like, but the tiny, narrow cells certainly let the mind wander.

Lynton Convict Depot was, as the very name suggests, a holding station for convict labour where local farmers or business owners could come to ‘hire’ convict labour.  Open for only four years due to the harsh conditions, it is one of the finest example of convict area Western Australian buildings still in tact in a regional area.

Hutt Lagoon is a naturally occurring pink lake which is coloured by a particular type of bacteria which reside in the lake.  Suffice to say, the almost alien landscape is quite a contrast to the surrounding green hills.
