Margaret River

The next phase of our holiday is a road trip around South Western Australia, starting and ending in Perth, and taking in Margaret River, Pemberton and Albany. On day one we motored along the coast, stopping of at Bunbury and Busselton for coffee and lunch respectively, before heading down to Margaret River for the night. This whole stretch of coast is very attractive with long clean sandy beaches and hardly anyone around. The towns along this stretch mainly seem to be full of retirement homes. I can think of much worse places to end up.

Today (day 2) we took in some more of the coast, dropping in at various craft shops and art galleries on the way. A visit to the local aborigine centre was one of the more interesting venues we stopped at, where we learned quite a bit about the history of the local aboriginal tribes. A late lunch was taken at a beach café on Geographe Bay, with excellent food food, and a superb view over the bay.
