Augusta is a small town on the south west corner of Western Australia. Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse is situated at the most south westerly tip of the Australian mainland - where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. There are tours of the lighthouse in which you climb the many steps to the top for great views of the coastline to the west and north of Augusta. If you are lucky you will see humpback whales migrating up the coastline.
We visited Augusta on a cold rainy, and very windy day but it didn't ruin our experience - apparently it is always windy in this part of the world as you can see by the way the trees and bushes have grown. It is also a great spot for fishing and is very popular during the warmer months. We will head back one day to stay and explore the area further.
