Nannup to Busselton

Thursday 7th Russ and the family headed to Freemantle to visit the gaol while we headed to Nannup to visit Helens cousin, Pip.
Pip is related to Helen through her father being Helen's father's cousin. It really was great catching up with Pip and her son Jeff, unfortunately her husband Chris passed away a couple of years ago. Even though this was only the second time in the last 57yrs they have caught up (the last one was 5yrs ago), it was like it was last week with the conversation flowing till almost 2am. Following a surprising 8.30am breakfast, and more catching up as we walked around the garden, we left and headed off to meet up with the other Woollams family in Busselton. One of Busseltons biggest attraction is the jetty. At 1841mtrs long it is the longest wooden piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere and the second longest wooden jetty in the world. Because of time restrictions we couldn't walk its entire length (our excuse, and we're sticking to it) but it was still an enjoyable walk, with seagulls nesting on parts of the old jetty, either sitting on eggs or feeding chick's. We then headed to the Anglican Campground where we're staying for the next 2 nights. Situated on Cave Road, on Commonwealth land right on the beach, it is just one of many camp grounds leased by various churches and community groups to cater for low cost holidays for people who couldn't normally afford a holiday by the beach or for people belonging to the same Church or Community Group Being Anglican we were able to get in. Tomorrow we are heading of for a tour of wineries, cheese shops and chocolate factories.Читать далее
