Coast Views

Just north of Cape Mentelle is this beautiful beach. And what a day it was to see it, calm as a pond.

Cape Mentelle

North of Margaret River are the limestone sea-facing cliffs of Cape Mentelle. And just north of here... You'll have to wait to see in tomorrow's post.

Margaret River

The Margaret River proper. Summer is the dry season for south west WA, so the river is not flowing and typically the entrance silts up every year making a walk to the northern side possible.

Curtin University

In the art district of Curtin University was this wonderful feature which I wandered past on the way to the Planetary Science department.

Murrili Meteorite

Not behind yesterday's door specifically, but in the Planetary Science Department are some amazing objects under research. This is one fragment of the Murrili Meteorite, famous because it was the first meteorite fragment tracked and found with the Desert Fireball Network of cameras run by Curtin University.

Happy Leap Day

These unique dog tooth crystals in the Ngilgi Caves near Yalingup were formed when the pool underneath the stalactites filled with super saturated calcium carbonate solution. The stalactites stopped growing and crystals seeded on them underwater, then the water has since drained.
