Backpacking travel & Outdoor adventure: 2012 - Backpacking to ...

Backpacking to Perth
Cape to Cape of Margaret River Valley
07 Sep. to 18 Sep. 2012


Day 06 Wed. (12.09.2012) Day 3: Dunsborough is about 100km to Molloy Caravan Park passing by Cowaramup, Margaret River, Witchcliffe, Karridale and Kudardup

At 8.15am after breakfast, we drove out to town to return the house key and continued our 20km journey to our 1st stop at Injidup Beach, Cape Clairault Rd. at 8.50am. We drove another 11km to our 2nd stop at Laurance Wines, 3518 Caves Road at 9.20am. We drove another 15km to our 3rd stop at Willyabrup Dreaming Pottery, Willyabrup Road at 9.50am.

We drove another 17km to our 4th stop at Cowaramup at 10.22am and had lunch at Cowaramup Bakery. We drove another 18km to our 5th stop at Voyager Estate Cellar Sales, 1 Stevens Road at 12.05pm. We drove another 3km to our 6th stop at Leeuwin Estate, Leeuwin Estate Winery Stevens Road at 1pm.

From Leeuvin we drove 44km down south to Molloy Caravan Park at about 2pm passing through Witchcliffe, Karridale and turn off at Kudardup into Fisher Rd towards Molloy Island. We took a rest and drove 14km to Augusta to buy grocery at Augusta IGA and have a look at the Hardy Inlet with a riverfront view. All in all we have been driving a total of 140km for the day.

We had a very fantastic dinner of burnt BBQ beef burger, chicken and sausages - and of course with plenty of beer and wine to wash away the carbon.

Molloy Caravan Park situated about 15kms north-east of Augusta and within the Margaret River Wine Region, Molloy Caravan Park can offer you a relaxed holiday that includes boating, water skiing, canoeing and fishing. A tranquil bush land setting on the banks of the Blackwood River with excellent modern facilities.

Augusta is a small town near Cape Leeuwin at the southern extremity of the Margaret River region. It is close to some good beaches and can also be used as a base for exploring the Margaret River wine region. There?s a Jewel cave 8km north of the town and the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse where the Southern and Indian Oceans splash into each other.

Sleeping: Molloy Caravan Park - each cabin is $70.00 per night for 2pax and each extra person is $10.00. Temperature: Cloudy 18?C/11?C



























Willyabrup Dreaming is a small but beautiful gallery full of unusual and original designs. All the work is made on the premises by artist/potter Bill Meiklejohn. Bill instills his love of the ocean into many of his spectacular fish & shell designs.





4th stop at Cowaramup at 10.22am. Cowaramup is a quaint little town retaining much of the character of its group settlement farming heritage, but being reinvented as the home of a wide range of unique local produces products. Having been founded on dairy cows, Cowaramup is still often referred to as Cow Town by the locals.

Bats harbor many types of coronaviruses and were probably the original source of the new coronavirus that appeared in the Middle East.

On the surface, the new coronavirus detected in the Middle East this month looks quite similar to SARS. It apparently causes severe respiratory problems, and can be lethal.

But with viruses, the devil is in their details ? the genetic details.

Dutch virologists have just published the whole genome of the new coronavirus ? all 30,118 letters of its code. And, the sequence reveals that the mystery virus is most closely related to coronaviruses that infect bats in Southeast Asia.

In fact, the pathogen is more similar to two bat viruses than it is to the human SARS virus that sent the world into a panic when it infected nearly 8,000 people in 2003.

Virologist Ron Fouchier, who has done controversial work on bird flu viruses, led the sequencing effort of the SARS-like virus. He tells Shots the results suggest that the new coronavirus virus came from bats. "Bats harbor many coronaviruses, so it's logical to assume that bats are the natural reservoir" of the new pathogen, he says.

?

"But this doesn't mean the Saudi man contracted the virus from bats," says Fouchier.

When viruses jump from animals to humans, there's usually a second animal that connects the natural carrier with humans. This species is called the amplifier because it increases the number of viral particles that can hop over into people.

With SARS, Fouchier says, it probably started off in bats and then jumped into an exotic animal, such as a civet cat, before it made its way to people.

This type of infection trajectory fits with what epidemiologists have seen, so far, for the new coronavirus.

In the past few weeks, John Watson and his team at Britain's Health Protection Agency have tracked down about 60 people who recently came in contact with one of the men infected with the virus. "None of these contacts have become seriously ill or shown any sign of being infected with the virus," Watson tells Shots.

Plus, there's nothing special happening where the sick man lived, such as an uptick in cases of respiratory illnesses. This is strong evidence that the virus came from an animal and that it probably can't yet move between people.

But to know for sure, Watson says, scientists need to find more cases of the new virus.

The genome sequence will be a big help on this front. Fouchier and his team just published a diagnostic test for the new virus, which doctors around the world can use to verify suspected cases of the disease.

Fouchier says that the genome may also give clues to drugs that may be effective against the virus.

Companies can also begin to design vaccines for the virus, Fouchier adds. "There are experimental vaccines for SARS, and these could be updated to work on the virus," he says. "All knowledge that we built for SARS is not lost."

So what's he doing next? First, taking a few steps backward. "We still need proof that the virus is the cause of the disease," he says. "We are currently starting animal experiments with macaques and ferrets to show that this virus actually makes animals sick. Many viruses don't."

LAVISH Body and Home soap

Most people know Scranton, Pennsylvania, as the fictional setting of NBC?s ?The Office.? Turns out the ?Electric City? is also the real life-setting of one of the most charming little spas in the state: LAVISH Body and Home (600 Lindsen St.; 570/558-2273), founded by Matt Drace (a former Creative Director at Travel + Leisure) and Jon Chernes, one-time marketing guru for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Given their impressive design resumes, it?s no surprise that their home goods section is well edited, but the spa itself is a huge draw. Clients love the organic facials?each one is tailored to your specific skin type and uses everything from cucumber to rice bran to draw out impurities?but personally, I love the soaps, made in Northern California of locally sourced herbs (my favorite: orange cinnamon with olive, which smells a bit like Florida at the holidays).

Mexico nabs high-ranking cartel member 'El Taliban'

By Reuters

MEXICO CITY - The Mexican navy said on Wednesday it had captured one of the leaders of the Zetas drug cartel, a notoriously brutal gang reported to be breaking apart due to an internal feud.

The navy said it had caught the man it believed to be Zetas boss Ivan Velazquez in the central state of San Luis Potosi, in a boost to outgoing President Felipe Calderon's efforts to crack down on the violent cartels.

Mexico's drug war is also part of a drug culture with roots in music, movies and even religion

The Zetas have perpetrated some of the most sickening acts of Mexico's drug war and continued to expand even as rival gangs joined forces against them. They are now regarded as one of the two most powerful drug cartels in the country.

Velazquez is due to be paraded before the media on Thursday morning as is customary with such captures in Mexico.

The suspected gang leader surrendered to the navy in the city of San Luis Potosi without a shot being fired, an eyewitness told Reuters.

Known as "Z-50" or "El Taliban," Velazquez has been one of the leading figures in the Zetas. Formed by a group of army deserters in the late 1990s, the gang acted as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel before splitting with their employers in 2010.

Longstanding rivalry between the Zetas' top leader, Heriberto Lazcano, and his second-in-command Miguel Trevino has exploded into violence, raising fears the hostilities could bring a fresh wave of bloodletting.

President: Mexico gang-related deaths fall by 15 percent in 2012

Switched allegiance
The Zetas boast 10,000-plus gunmen, and the prospect of them fighting for control of local trafficking networks and smuggling routes has alarmed security experts.

However, the split also brings benefits for the government, as members of the gang inform against former colleagues.

A video "mockumentary" that shows children as kidnappers, corrupt cops and drug traffickers sparked a fierce debate in violence-torn Mexico. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports.

Earlier this week, Mexican news magazine Proceso reported that Velazquez had switched his allegiance to the Gulf Cartel due to a rupture with Trevino, citing messages posted online.

Velazquez is listed by the government as one of the country's most-wanted drug kingpins. The Mexican government has offered a reward of up to 30 million pesos ($2.34 million) for information leading to his arrest.

Debate rages over Mexico 'spillover violence' in US

Since 2009, more than 20 drug lords have been caught or killed. The most recent capture came two weeks ago, when the navy arrested Gulf Cartel head Jorge Costilla, alias "El Coss."

Earlier on Wednesday, the navy announced the capture of 18 suspected Zetas in the northern state of Nuevo Leon.

Mexico's drug war: No sign of 'light at the end of the tunnel'

How to contain the threat posed by the drug gangs is one of the main challenges facing Calderon's successor Enrique Pena Nieto, who is due to take office on December 1.

About 60,000 people have been killed in drug-related violence during Calderon's six-year term.

Lemon Pie, a dog whose two front legs were allegedly cut off by a gang in Mexico, got prosthetic legs after more than $8,000 was raised for him.

Tools to Help Kids Express Emotions | Apartment Therapy

Expressing emotions is already hard as an adult, I can't imagine (or don't remember) how hard it must be as a child. In that spirit, I'm trying to help my kids express and accept whatever emotions come up, especially when it comes to negative emotions such as anger and sadness.

The truth is, it's really hard to explain the notion of emotion to a child. Much less ask them to tell you which one they feel. However hard it is, though, research shows self-compassion is of utmost importance, beyond even self-esteem.

There are a few different options out there that can help, mostly games, but also books, apps, and dolls.

? Robot emotions flashcards at Mr. Printable.
? The emotional animals dice game, an active game for younger ones.
? The chill & spill journal, more of a pre-teen and teen item.
? A coloring/make your own story book.
? The emotion matching game, a how-to make your own photo to word matching game.
? Today, I feel silly, a book by Jamie Lee Curtis.
? Touch and learn emotions, a mobile app.
? Emotions memory, a French and English bilingual game.
? Funny families, another bilingual (French/English) card game based on the seven families game.
? Kimochi dolls.
