Margarets Forest (Two Bedroom) Margaret River

... a Monday a lot of restaurants were closed, or not bothered with vegetarians, so just had a pizza, which I must says was delicious and a good deal (Margies Pizza for the record). And they also have an Eagle Boys...always thought that was a weird name! What are they trying to say, their pizzas are tough, or delivered fast, or what?? I just don't understand. Anyway long day, lots of driving, cold beer, pretty but confused town, odd room. Much more succinct and would have been quicker to upload!

... as we never really knew how much we were drinking. Our second winery was 'Clairault' where Aaron was the only one tasting. It was a beautiful set-up with a restaurant and outdoor area...very peaceful. Our next stop was 'Bootleg Brewery'; as their slogan says 'an oasis of beer in a desert of wine'. What a fantastic spot! It overlooked a lake and the weather was just perfect. Aaron got a sample tray for $12 which offered samples of all 7 beers ...

... too. The weather has been great - not too hot but good for swimming. We have a nice little swimming area which is also very popular for canoeing. We got out our canoe today and went for a paddle. As we are a bit out of practice we didn't venture too far out into the river. We are on Chapman Brook which is a small tributary of the Blackwood River. After our stay here we are going across to Boyup Brook for the Country Music Festival around ...

... no point in just taking free samples for the sake of it. But As i spot the three massive bowls of Chocolate buttons(One white, one milk chocolate and one dark chocolate) all my good intentions are lost. The chocolate was glorious- too glorious. Nest stop was the vine yard with a deli. Again as I enter I tell myself to take it easy on the sampling. Inside the deli there is jar after jar or pickles, dips, jams, spreads, sauces. All calling out to me. My ...

... bubbling quagmires of quick sand; some land was acres of prickly shrubs and rocky terrain: but most of the land was just like the lake district with acres of green fields, mirrored lakes and small isolated stone-built cottages. But, where in England you have fields everywhere with the odd wood, here you have forest... thick forest, with the odd field cut out of it. (David: just like it would have been when Robin Hood was vogue-ing in his green spanglies) The one thing that ...

... and Troy and Carolyn (Aussie's) we'd met and ended up there till closing time after which we carried on at Troy and Carolyn's place. They taught us a great new drinking game -'Circle of Death' - a card game with a million rules but very funny. (No doubt some of you back home will get a chance to sample it when we get back!!) We stayed at the lovely InneTown Backpackers which we really ...

... an einer 6 Stuendigen Weintour teil. Zuerst gabs ein BBQ "Barbie" damit alle schoen brav etwas im Bauch hatten bevor es los ging. Wir besuchten 4 Weingueter und konnten noch Schokolade, Kaese und (Wild-)Wurst degustieren. Die meisten Teilnehmer ware Aussies und es war witzig, denn die haben noch lustigen Humor und jeder versucht immer der groesste Spassvogel zu sein...

... of wine I consumed has numbed my memory... We visited 5 wineries and all developed our taste buds sufficiently. As we were only a group of 3 (as opposed to a group of 30) arriving at each winery, we were privileged to receive the finest wines at each cellar and were given ample quantities to taste. Between wineries our tour guide took us to the Margaret River Chocolate Company, a Cheese ...

... under eftermiddags malkningen. <br>Drengene synes det var ret spaendende og fik en god landbrugs og okonomi snak, men jeg kunne ikke helt folge med i alt det der snak.. hehe <br><br>Naeste stop var DENMARK!! Ja ja, saadan en har de ogsaa her nede i Australien og det MAATTE vi jo bare se. Det var en ret stor skuffelse . En rigtig lille lorte flaekke og absoulte ingenting at se, saa det var naermest kun ved byskiltet vi brugte tid og en lille handle tur. <br><br><br>

... cliffs, forming them into bricks, and laying them until he had a house. It took him 12 years to build! Next, it was off to the caves where natives lived. We got to crawl around on our tummies and get nice and dirty. It was great! At one point, I wasn't sure I was going to fit through some of the spaces. While we were all climbing through caves, Brian, our guide set up the bush tucker. He had all sorts of crazy fruits and nuts for us to ...
