Margaret River

Our travels took us to the edge of Australia this past weekend, Margaret River to be exact. 

 

 And this little Margaret did some exploring!

 

I think both girls deserve a badge in spelunking, cave diving, adventures in caving.....whatever you'd like to call it, they did a great job!

 

The first cave we went to was self-guided and unlit, hence the helmets and flashlights!

 

Then we headed down to Cape Leeuwin to see the lighthouse

And 2 oceans at once! 

The next day we stopped at a beach before heading to Lake Cave and 

Luckily it was rainy on and off most of the weekend because we saw what started out as this little guy.....

 

That turned into a full rainbow, but those things are super fast!! 

I was trying to get up higher to get a picture of the FULL ARC RAINBOW, but alas...it was not to be captured on my camera. We all got to see the WHOLE thing though and it was AWESOME! No unicorns or leprechauns were noticed anywhere in the vicinity.

Then we went to Lake Cave which was lit and guided and has the only "Suspended Table" in the world, (that you're allowed to see) the only other one is in France and isn't open to visitors. 

 

The “table” is a massive column of calcite weighing in excess of five tons that seems to hang precariously from the ceiling, defying gravity and hovering just a few feet above the lake.

Thanks Australia for a BEAUTIFUL visit, it was another fun adventure to check off our list! We head home this weekend and have to say we've missed California!
