Days 66- 72, Monday PM 16 August – Sunday 22 August
Overnight at Jurien Bay on Monday night, great walks on the beach PM and the next morning. Sunset strangely mute after previous week’s efforts.
Tuesday and we are well and truly ‘over’ the remote part of our trip ( for a few days anyway) as we head into Perth. First though , a stop at Cervantes for lunch on the beach at the Lobster Shack 🦞, followed by and afternoon in Nambung National Park checking out the strange natural phenomenon that is the Pinnacles Desert.
A great three days in Perth. We stayed with good friends in lovely Cottesloe. Apart from the pleasure of catching up with our friends we also enjoyed checking out Fremantle, Kings Park and walking he beaches of Perth’s amazing metropolitan coast. It wasn’t all leisure … the Amarok had a major service ( including a windscreen replacement) and Bernie had some minor repairs.
Friday and we left Perth for Margaret River. En-route we caught up with another friend that Ness had been in Nepal with and hadn’t seen for a while . A few short hours later we were in Margaret River.
Saturday was quite the tourist day🙂. We went to the Margaret River Farmer’s Market, buying far more avocados and artisanal cheese than any couple should 🤔. Good problem to have!
Lunch on Saturday was a real treat after the offerings up north. We had a great lunch at the restaurant at the Vasse Felix winery. 🍷 And because we were being indulgent we followed up with a tasting at the Limeburner Distillery.
After Saturday’s indulgence Sunday started a lot more leaner with Sheep’s yoghurt and fruit 🍎 . We then drove via Pemberton further south and east through vineyards, prime dairy country and fantastic Karri Forests. Sunday night at Coalmine Beach, just east of Walpole on the beautiful Nornalup Inlet.
