Day 52

We woke up this morning after a much better nights sleep, the road was much quieter over night.  We think that maybe they had unloaded a cargo boat the night before and that is why there were so many trucks on the road.  

Anyway it was raining when we woke up but got better about 10.30 am.  We went out for a little while.  First of all we dropped an envelope off to Gail's mum for Colin and Gail.  Then we went up to the look out where you get some spectacular views of Bunbury.  It started raining again about lunchtime so we came back to the van and had some lunch and waited for an hour or so.  After the rain stopped  we went to The Cut where we were told that we would probably see some Dolphins - unfortunately not today.  The water has been really rough and the Dolphins are just not coming in.  Apparently there are usually 100 around here in Bunbury but as yet we have not seen any.  We are hoping that tomorrow before we go it may be calmer and then we might see some.  We then went to St Patrick's Catholic Cathedral, apparently this was destroyed by a tornado in 2005and had to be completely demolished.  It re-opened in March this year.  It is a spectacular building (it should be they spent $78 million repairing it) and all the pews in the church are Jarrah.  It is right up on a hill and affords some beautiful views of Bunbury.
