Day 8: Along the south coast

After a quick breakfast at our campsite in Walpole, we were on the road again.
As we looked at the map, Esperance turned out to be too far away, another 250 km with only half the road as a highway didn't seem too good, so we resolved to just trasvel as far as to our next destination Albany.

The first stop in the morning (9 am) was a short walk, 10 km after Walpole, in the giant tree forest.
Big trees, huge trees, high trees, sounds boring, huh? Well, not when you are in the middle of the forest exploring the wilderness.

Our second stop was the town of Denmark and the scenic drives on the way were just amazing (not much different from the scenery from the day before but still very nice).

After checking the lonely planet we saw there's a surf spot at Great Ocean Beach in Denmark. And there we went with our surfboard under our arms, but it has to be said that the waves were not as good as the ones at Redgate. Not very strong, not as close to the beach and way too short to ride them properly.

We had lunch there and after a second session of (bad) surfing, we moved to Albany (biggest town since Busselton).

After talking to some other backpackers we got a few tips about where to stay for the night.
In the meantime, here we are at a Mc Donalds, where we had our first "meal" with meat in a week. Moreover, we finally had access to Mc D's free wifi...hooray \o/!

I guess Albany is the most eastern town we will travel to and the turning point of our road trip, so see you on our way back!
