Mike & Trice's Travels: Bussleton 23rd

Bussleton

Rolled into Peppermint Park, a park recommended by Kel and Patty. Lovely park with very clean facilities, mini golf and a few other amenities and also close to Geographe Bay. It was very busy as it is schools holidays and we got the last 2 sites in the place.

Ken and Noela joined us in their hired motorhome with no awning and a few other issues, this motorhome has seen better days. Noela seemed very relaxed with the Motorhome, maybe this is the start of more adventures.

We sat around demonstrating happy hour and also showing that there is no reason why happy should only go for an hour.

The next day we were Off for a drive to Cape Naturalist, dropped into sugarloaf rock, Yallingup where the weed had a certain fragrance and Eagle bay.

We were told about Canal Rocks, it is a large natural

canal which has the seas surging through under a narrow footbridge.

Young girls were jumping from the footbridge into the surge of the waves, it was nuts but the parents didn't appear too concerned.

Free as a Cow

Off to the wineries, Lawrence winery, Vasse Felix, followed by Margaret

Free as a Bird (Chick on a Stick)

River Chocolate.

Off to the pub for a bit of dinner.

The following day we needed a bit of exercises we went canoeing in geographe bay and then played put put.

I put the caravan in today for a service, as I think there is something amiss with the brakes. Wonerup House was established in 1858 by George Layman unfortunately George was to die a couple of years later after being speared by a native in his front yard. Over his time he had built school buildings for the local children of the area as well as accomodation for the teacher.

Off to Bussleton Jetty and the Underwater Observatory, the jetty is 1.7 kilometres long so we caught the train out and back. Lunch at The Goose was a surprise, fish and chips for $38, Trice and I shared the one meal.

Got the van back, $572 for the service, wires were snapped on 2 of the 4 brakes, thought something was wrong.
