Since leaving Augusta we have visited 1
more cave, Lake Cave, different to Jewel as it has an internal lake but
otherwise similar. From Augusta to Bunburry there are some 83 wineries plus
heaps of other attractions, nut & wheat farm, dried fruit farm, chocolate
& cheese factories to name a few. We have spent the past week visiting
various towns like Margaret River & Dunsborough, spent a couple of days in
Rapids Conservation Park & checked out the Cape Naturaliste lighthouse. The
weather hasn’t been great, much cooler than we’ve been used to & WA has had
an extra public holiday on Fri. 28th for the queen. Perth central
has been closed to all traffic in readiness for the Sat spectacular so when we
arrived in Busselton the town was buzzing & it was hard to find a c/park
that wasn’t full. We don’t know who is going to watch the parade coz they’re
all down here.
After 2 nights, walks around town & the
1.82Km jetty, we continued on to Bunbury then decided to strike inland again as
we are just waiting to fly home in November. We’ve decided on a 2 day stop in
Wagin (Way-gin). As well as the usual pubs, churches & old buildings, they
have a lake here that turns bright pink in the summer months due to high salt
content, unfortunately we’re a bit too early to see the change.
Not a lot to say as it’s a repeat of last
week, same scenery, just different
towns.
