Well I woke up on Tuesday 7/10/14 and thought that I’d really like to go for a walk. Good thing that is just what we had planned to do.
We made a 20 minute trip to Yanchep National Park where we paid our entry fee (yes, they charge an entry fee to some National Parks in WA) and set off for the Visitor’s Centre. We spoke to the lady there about the different walks in the park and the cave tour we could do. After she totally freaked out the boys and I about snakes – there have been lots of sightings this season, it’s best to go on the well worn tracks, you should walk with your legs covered, remember you only have 40 minutes if you get bitten by a tiger snake and so on and so on – we decided to do the cave tour first and then do a 9.2km walk with the thousands of snakes that inhabit Yanchep National Park.
The cave tour lasted about and hour. We had a nice, informative tour guide and learned all about the limestone caves and the crystal – stalagmites and stalactites. We even got to touch some crystal and enjoyed looking at all the different formations.
