Spent two nights in Margaret River which is a beautiful spot and just my sort of town: i.e. Spas,Great Food,Great cafes and Restaurants, Fresh produce, Beautiful accommodation and great little shopping precinct, Oh, and wine wine and more wine.It has it all. I brought a bottle of locally made Olive Oil from a shop which sells quite a few different ones and they have a tasting table so of course i tried them all.
I would like to have stayed longer but its a long weekend this weekend in WA and the parks here don't allow dogs on long weekends so i had to move along.
I found a park in Dunsborough (which is about 165km from perth) that would allow dogs and wasn't booked out for the weekend thank goodness as a lot were when i rang.
It was only a short drive so i called in along the way to some of the towns to have a look and they are all beautiful.First stop was Prevelly which is where the fires were recently and so much is burnt all the way up to the sand dunes which looks amazing.
Sand dunes right near the beach
In the photo above is the local church which was still standing unaffected while everything around it is burnt. A miracle or devine intervention?????
After Prevelley i stopped at Yallingup which is stunning. Each town just keeps getting better than the last.
I thought Augusta was the playground for the wealthy from Perth but i think it might be Yallingup as the homes are beautiful architectural masterpieces.One house for example was a half circle.
The beach here was also beautiful so i decided to spend an hour or so touching up the tan and having a swim before continuing to Dunsborough.
A bit of trivia someone told me was all the towns that have an "up" on the end of their name mean there is water there.
