We said our goodbyes as we departed a beautiful campsite. There is something different about experiencing a sunrise and a sunset in the outback. We have been fortunate to have enjoyed many whilst on this very memorable trip of ours and this morning was no different.

Old Cape Spear Lighthouse. Constructed in 1836, Cape Spear Lighthouse is a striking example of the unique lighthouse architecture of the period.
