The good life ~ Margaret River

A week and bit around Margaret River... where to begin?  We started with a couple of nights at Dunsborough, a little town at the northern end of the region with some great cafes and a good vibes.  It was the long weekend and the end of school holidays, so things were a bit hectic around town, but family were able to come down from Rockingham so little bird got to hang with her cousins and aunt and uncle for the first time, which was sweet for all of us.  The holidays ended, the crowds dissipated, and we relocated about 10 minutes down the road to Yallingup beach.  The drive into Yallingup is stunning as the coast opens out in front of you, and we just had to take a few steps from the camper to see the surf.  We stayed there for another five nights, completing a week of bushwalking, surfing, snorkelling, spearfishing, scenic drives, cafes, bakeries, cheese, wine and the like.  All sounds exciting and busy, but in reality we barely got more than one of these things done on any single day, and most of our time was spent dodging rain showers and catching little windows of sleep whenever granted permission by little bird.

Before heading onwards on our ventures we ducked down to Margaret River town for a couple of relaxed days walking by the river, shopping and eating.  Really loved this leg of our journey, and would love to spend more time back here one day.
