Fri, 29th Dec, 2017 House&Dog sit, Eaton (near Bunbury), WA

8am 19 degrees, was down to 11 this morning – so much for summer.

Walk and more swimming for the dogs as it has warmed up quickly.

Drove into Bunbury for a look around. Turned off first to the Inner Harbour and down the ‘The Cut’. A few boats and swimmers were out the front of the cut and then we noticed dolphins were working their way back and forth.

Looking across the beach to Bunbury then over the Cut to the beaches on the other side then back around to Leschenault Estuary.

Lots of big ships waiting off shore.

Drove around to Koombana Beach where the Dolphin Discovery Centre is. There are pods of dolphins that live around these waters and there are a few that come into the beach to get a little morsel from the volunteers who run the discovery centre.

The Council has just finished a great foreshore and playground upgrade here. All the kids are lining up for the long flying fox.

Continued into town – interesting art work on roundabout.

To the coast and the big lighthouse then we meandered around the streets checking out the houses.

The wind hadn’t come up so it was beautiful down at Back Beach as we meandered along the coast down to Minninup. Found some interesting ‘busts’ at a street entrance.

Found a fish and chip shop for lunch and sat in a picnic shelter overlooking the ocean. The wind is just starting to pick up and make white caps.

Back home for a cuppa then took the dogs for another walk.
