Back to Perth

On a windy day with sun and showers, we checked out of the motel in Margaret River and drove to the popular White Elephant Cafe at Gnarabup Beach for breakfast and then to Surfers Point where the World Surfing Championships had been held recently at Prevelly Beach with an Aussie lady winning a Gold Medal.
Nearby was the confluence of the Margaret River with the sea which had large breakers and lots of surf.
In Cowaramup, which had lots of painted sculptures of cows on the pavements due to being surrounded by cattle farms, we stopped at Temper Temper for chocolate-tasting.
We stopped in a forest to find orchids but with no luck. However, we saw some at the next stop, Lake Clifton in Yalgorup NP, where the wind made the lake so choppy that it was impossible to see the thrombolites.
We had lunch at the nearby Thorny Devil Brewery.
We passed through Mandurah and Fremantle, taking a quieter route back to Perth to miss the crowds going to the Aussie Rules final.もっと詳しく
