Mon 20th Aug - Road trip

Hit the road at about 10am for the 3 hr trip to Margaret River. Traffic in Perth wasn't too bad and the further outside the city I got the fewer cars there were on the road. It had been overcast and raining in Perth, but about 30km outside the city the weather cleared and it turned into a lovely day. I stopped in Busselton on the way down to take a look at the 2km long jetty which stretches out into the ocean. There's an Underwater Observatory at the end of the jetty which sounded really cool but unfortunately this was closed due to poor visibility, so my visit was a brief one.

I stopped for lunch in Dunsborough before finally arriving in Margaret River. In Dunsborough I paid a visit to the Cape Naturaliste light house and the beach at Eagle bay, both of which are worth a visit. The coast line along here is lines with one beautiful beach after another. When I got myself checked in to some accomodation in Margaret River I set off in seach of a sunset photo, but was minutes too late to catch it, so had to settle for a nice sea food dinner of Marron (fresh water lobster) and booking myself in for a wine tour tomorrow as a consolation. It's a tough life really!
