Earlier this month, my wife and I had the pleasure of taking two of my cousins from Holland around the south west of Western Australia. While staying in Albany for a few days, we drove out to Shelley Beach, located about 30km west of Albany.

The lookout high above Shelley Beach is apparently a favourite spot for hang gliders, as there is almost always plenty of wind there. The large wooden platform that I'm standing on is a launch ramp for the hang gliders.

The lookout is located high above the beach, and after launching my kite, I managed to get some photos of us standing at the lookout, with Shelley Beach far below us.
Here is a selection of photos from this KAP session at the lookout.
