    Conto Camp Margaret River Freycinet Bay

    September 29, 2018 in Australia

    Staying on at the Conto Camp site today and tomorrow. Went into Margaret River, very busy town centre. Got a coffee, whilst it was nice, had to wait over 15 minutes for it. Drove out to the Margaret River Cheese factory, got some very nice Vintage and triple cream brie. Then went to the chocolate factory, unfortunately not much happening through the viewing window. Very expensive chocolate; got a bar of dark, some caramel fudge and an assortment that cost $2 each. My rather large chunk of dark chocolate covered nougat was $3, very nice.
    Drove to Bussellton to buy some new camp beds – the air mattress has sprung a leak and we have no way of finding where it is. Bought the absolute deluxe for me and a stretcher for Mick, after I told him I would not allow him to sleep on that!
    Drove out to Freycinet point, gorgeous beaches with waves crashing over rocks. Saw a cave up in the hill and got some photos of more wildflowers we hadn’t seen before. Went to check out the point road camp, found it no longer exists.
