From Perth we traveled to Margaret River trying to escape the showers, wind and cold cold temperatures that were starting to become unpleasant. Surprisingly the weather improved a little, and we started to acclimatise to the lower temperatures. The coldest and windiest part of the year down here is September/ October, lucky us having spent so much time in the warmer climes up north.
Margaret River is a lush green farmland interspersed with tall timber forests and carpets of wildflower. There are magnificent vineyards wall to wall, interspersed with delightful stopovers such as the chocolate factory, the cheese factory and the chocolate factory, etc.
We met up with Linda {Sue's sister) and Ben for a few nights. We had a great time touring the wineries and sampling their wares, and enjoyed some wonderful sidesplitting times spurred on by Ben,s wicked sense of humour which only improved after Geelong's success on Saturday (photo). Funnily enough, he was watching tele, in one of the luxury cabins at the caravan park because the TV in his didn't work,while the rest of us climbed the lighthouse at Cape Leuwin (see photo).
Spurred on by deteriorating weather we then hurried down to Albany where the weather was not too bad as long as you had a singlet, tee shirt, three jumpers and anorak to ward off the cold. A Hot chocolate for Sue and a flat white for myself were in order as we communicated with the working class back home.This was taken while he was talking to you Cathy!!! (photo).
