Today we went north to Busselton to the longest timber jetty in Australia at 1.84k. Unfortunately we could not walk to the end as it is being refurbished (at a cost of $24 million)
We had been to the chocolate factory so next we went to taste test the local wine. . .
The Margaret River area is renowned for its wineries.
This is the entrance to Voyager Estate Winery. Col did suggest that our jeans and runners might not be appropriate!! There are 8 gardeners and horticulturists employed full-time to keep the gardens.
And the rose garden was very impressive. Apparently they grow roses so that any disease affects the flower before it attacks the grape vines. Unfortunately the wine was not to our liking and we came away with a six pack of grape juice.
Margaret River flows through the centre of town and this is quite a pretty picnic area with ducks waiting for any food left behind.
By afternoon the sky had started to cloud over – more rain is predicted. Besides being noted for its wine, this area is said to have the best surfing beaches in the world. If you look very carefully there are surfers out there trying their luck.
where was that last shot taken? nice pic.
