A day for treks, tastes and treats.

Not quite a trek but a good day today.
We started off with a visit to the farmer’s and artisan markets at the Busselton foreshore. Lots of interesting things but we restricted ourselves to some pate and some dog treats.

There was an event being held in the car park nearby. It seemed to be a cross between cycling and go kart racing. The kids were almost lying flat in the three wheel compartments. Some kids seemed to be racing along and others looked like they’d run out of puff.

We stopped off at Origins markets which was an interesting wander and a mix of food, wine, craft and art. A nice wander round.

We then headed down to Meelup beach and walked along toward Castle Rock. The wild flowers weren’t as prolific as yesterday but with the beach and the sea there was there was plenty to look at. We almost escaped the rain but spent quite a while watching a gecko and then a couple of bobtails.

A late lunch at Meelup Farmhouse which was lovely. Squid followed by Porchetta. We were there quite a while so after it was done we raced down to Olio Bello to get some olive oil and the venison farm to get some venison before they closed. After last night’s meal I decided to purchase some venison meat as well as small goods. We’ll see how that goes when I attempt to cook it.

On the way back we called into Canal Rocks and Yallingup. The light was beautiful and really captured the gorgeous scenery. I’d been reading about Caves House last night so we drove in to take a look. I suggested we go in for a drink to take a look inside. That turned into a light dinner while we watched some of the soccer. I’d like to go back during the day.

All in all a full day but not a busy day.

I’ve tried labelling each individual photo. Hopefully it worked.Leer más
