Denmark is a very quaint village - alternate lifestyle .

Looking for golf clubs, there is the world,s longest golf course ahead and I am going to golf it if possible.  Have found a putter, five and nine irons and a driver for the grand total of $8.00 . Do not look that good but will do the job.

Drove into Albany, still lots of people here because of the Anzac celebration, one hundred years since ships sailed taking men to serve in WW1.

Walked about taking in the sites. Then drove Middleton beach and on to Frenchman Rd. And Torndirrup National Park and stayed a a lovely caravan park on South Spit in Princess Royal Harbour.

Parked right adjacent to the beach.

Up early, breakfast and back down Frenchman Rd. To the Gap and Natural bridge- two natural features carved from ancient granite by the force nature. The gap features a 25 metre sheer drop to the ocean. Stoney Hill a short 500meter walk over a large granite outcropping with an amazing view back to Albany.

Yesterday we had done the Salmon holes- migrating salmon looking for calmer waters come in close to the beach.

Also walked the 900 meter walk to the blow holes, what they do not tell you is it is all down hill and is very steep.

At ten we took the tour a Whale World. This is the last whaling factory to shut down in Australia in 1978.

It has been preserved as a museum. The tour was very informative and the 3D movie was amazing.

There is also a botanical garden in it's infancy of local plants etc.. A small area with indigenous mammals. 

Then it was off to Mount Baker, Porongurup and finally Borden where we will stay tonight.

This is a very small farming village and is in the middle of the grain belt, grain fields for miles. Wheat, barley and canola.
