We spent a good deal of time this morning entertaining ourselves with the local parrots. We saw these guys yesterday afternoon but did not get a chance to feed/photograph them; made up for lost time this morning. After we had taken more than enough photos of these colorful little birds the camp host dropped by for a chat and during that chat informed us that the local name for this species of bird is twenty eights. Apparently this name originates from the fact that this species is 28th on the state list of vermin.

Before breaking camp we took a stroll along the local beach and were treated to the sight of a couple of horses going for their morning swim.

Around mid day we dropped into the seaside village of Busselton, the place was crowded with passengers from a cruise ship anchored just off the coast and it looked like the town turned on a special event just for the benefit of the cruise passengers.

We finished the day with visits to a couple of lovely local beaches and marvelled at the (small) size of the crowd taking advantage of the warm weather and clear water.

We "camped" for the night in a nice double bed provided by an old friend of ours who lives on a small farm in the Margaret River area.
