Margaret River back to Perth

Up at 8am (?). It was too wet and windy to walk on the beach as planned. Breakfast at resort, Mike was ill.

Mike drove to Cape Mentelle - wine no good. Then to Leeuwin Estate - wine no good. It wasn't even 12pm, so we went back to town to find out about waterfalls.

Drove to the coast and then to Ellenbrook and Meekadarabee Falls. It was a boring walk, and the falls were a distinct anti-climax. Back to Voyager Estate. Brilliant wine, brilliant grounds and lunch. Sent wine to Pidge.

Back to town for $49 worth of fuel, and made a stop at the Margaret River Chocolate Company. Huge shop full of very tasty things.

We set off driving north, and made a stop at Cape Naturaliste, which is a wonderful wild promontory with a lighthouse. We had a walk, but an approaching storm meant that we needed to run back to the car poste-haste. We kept on north, and had a Macca's stop at Mandurah on the way. We reached Perth at about 9.30, drove the car to the airport, and got a bus back. We got to bed after 12am.
