Geographe Bay

This morning we said adios to James & Louisa, as they headed North and we headed South. We wish them safe, fun and memorable onward travels and will continue to follow their blog (no doubt with green eyes from time to time!) once we get home. We then headed Southwest to Geographe Bay. We stopped at Busselton for a picnic lunch and we saw the impressively long pier there - at 1.8km long, it proclaims itself the "longest jetty in the Southern hemisphere". Eagle-eyed Solana spotted a kids play park here too! We then drove on to Cape Naturaliste, where we did a short coastal walk, before entering the Margaret River wine area where we plan to spend the next couple of days. Naturally, we visited a couple of wineries on the way to our accomodation and availed ourselves of the free wine tastings on offer! We're staying at another campsite, in a particularly spacious, though more expensive, cabin. The weather is cooler here, now we're both further South and further into Autumn - temperatures now under 20C and not as sunny (I'm happy with the cooler climate but it's not Laura & Solana's ideal!). We're looking forward to more wine tasting and coastal scenery over the next couple of days.Læs mere
