Oz - Albany

Today we start a 3 day trip around the south west. First stop wine tasting, roughly translates to 'get the punters pissed with free booze then try and flog them loads', unfortunately for them most of us brought our bellies but somehow managed to leave our wallets in the bus...

Further down Albany Highway we climb the Porongerups Castle Rock and take in the breathtaking views of the Stirling Ranges...

The wind generously demonstrated how I'd look with skin tight trousers, hmm nice...

We left ranj holding up a large rock, when he eventually tired he surprisingly managed to dive out of the way as the rock came crashing down...

Middleton beach, surfers hangout...

Mt Clarence, pretty nice view appart from the petroleum plant...

Some fool had left a 18th century style ship nearby with rigging that begged to be climbed, lucky nobody was stupid enough to try, agghem!...

We manage to find an English style pub, not quite the same as home but who cares when the beer's cold!...

Surprisingly our Aussie guides seemed to be as proud of the towns whaling past as yorkshiremen are of their coal miners...
