2/2/23 – Margaret River

Today we got an early start as our plan was to travel to Margaret River and wine country. Our first stop was in Bunbury where we hoped to see dolphins in the bay. When we arrived at the Dolphin Center we found that we would have pay for a boat tour that was not going out for 2 more hours…we decided to move on to Busselton and their “I” (information center) which was wonderful. Armed with the information we needed for the day we headed to the nearest Cellar Door -Flametree- where we were able to taste wine and build our own charcuterie for lunch. Suze, the manager, was our charismatic, entertaining server as Connie, Jen, & Scot tasted their wines (I was abstaining as the designated driver). Satiated with a wonderful lunch, we made our way to Naturaliste National Park stopping at Meelup Beach for a walk along/in the water. Next stop was a walk to the Naturaliste Lighthouse & being attacked by flies! (Connie opted to stay in the car with the AC-good choice!). After this stop we decided it was time to make the long journey back to our abode in Fremantle with a stop in Busselton for some ice cream at “Sub Zero”. On our drive back we each selected a song to play and passed the phone to the next person -the journey home was quite entertaining 🥰. Tomorrow we are visiting the big city – Perth.
