Wow it's so clean and spacious. The beaches and the skies are just amazing. It's a great place for those who love an outdoor lifestyle.
The beautiful Swan River was out the front of our hotel room and as the sun rose behind it the grass field that was on the river bank was filled with screaming, tumbling, mischievious corella parrots. With the 2 hour time difference between the East and West Oz - i decided to get up and have a hula hoop with them on my birthday! They all flew away on my approach though. so much for their bluster.
My birthday is on the 7th while Reuben's is on the 6th. I bought us a scuba dive with in the shark tank with grey nurse sharks, manta rays and turtles plus some very curious fish. It was great. I had a little turtle try to bite my head. This all happened at AQWA.
We spent time in Fremantle with our wonderful friend Dave who has just sold the cafe he created there called Moore in an art gallery. He is starting a new cafe in Fremantle soon.
Our absolutley favourite time was spent down south though in the Margaret River region famous for it's wineries and beaches - for a bloody good reason. They're all amazing.
So many beautiful wineries, tasting wines and eating the food there. The region produces the best semillion, chardonny and sauv blancs. Trust me. I tasted quite a few. I ordered a crate!
The beaches were just pristine and such a beautiful blue. Unlike Melbourne, they were also at a temperature of the most lovely unlike our Southern oceans direct from the Antarctic. Our favourite place was Yallingup beach. We will definitely stay there at the holiday park if we ever find ourselves in the region again. It's right on the beach and right near the local coffee man serving great coffee on a barista machine and homemade muffins out of the back of his van with the backdrop of cliffs and the beach. I'd love to attempt the drive from Melbourne along the Great Ocean road, through South Australia to get there to this region again.
We also dived on my Dad's old Navy Ship the HMAS Swan which has been especially gutted and sunk for divers. The blue of the water was just etheral.
A great trip.
