Our last few days in Busselton were spent at Busselton’s Agriculture show and what a ball we had. Pip loved the horses and the dressage events. The young girls and boys (there were two boys only) in these events were spectacular in their ability to handle these animals. Of course we took Pip into sideshow ally both on the Friday night, with fire works display and again for another spend on the Saturday morning. She got offered a few free rides from our ol’ mates the “carnies” but she declined as they were TERRIFYING (see pics), she much preferred the monster balls, dodgems and acrobats trampoline.

Sunday morning we packed up and moved 40klm south to Margaret river. This is the centre of the wine growing region. Very beautiful to drive through and fab if you are into buying wines. Its ten minutes drive from Prevelly which is the main surf beach here. We took a drive to Prevelly, didn’t stay too long though as its blowing a gale. This western coast is very dramatic when the winds are on and it appears that the winds are on a lot. It reminds me a little of the rough west of Tassi. The town of Margaret river is full of things to spend your hard earned cash on a bit like a cross between Bangalow, Montville etc, with its independent stores selling cool and quirky books and gifts. A nice place to wander around… stop for a coffee and watch the world pass by… We will spend a couple of night here and then take a drive down to Augusta, and check out he caves at Jewel caves.
