We headed off on Saturday morning to head towards Margaret river for two nights. We took the whole day to get there, stopping on the way at lots of places.
Our first stop was Bunbury. Not much to look at, except the gorgeous coastline and a few shops. The second stop was Busselton. We walked along a jetty almost 2km long, wow! It got colder and windier the further we got from shore. At the end of the jetty is an underwater aquarium. Unfortunately we didn't get to visit this because it closes during winter due to water clarity.

After the first winery, we went to the Margaret River Chocolate factory - more to my liking! (especially the free samples: yum yum) After another two wineries and a leisurely lunch, accompanied by wine, of course, it was time for the Fudge Factory. Although neither of us really like fudge, they also sell chocolate. Now chocolate, is something i can't walk past. So Scott got his wine and I got delicious chocolate, so all in all it was a great day.
Day 3 we drove to Albany. The best part of this day was the Tree Top Walk at Pemberton. I don't need to say anymore than this because the photos speak for themselves. 

These lovely big trees are Red Tingles. Some of them are believed to be 400 years old!
After a three o'clock lunch in Denmark (the town, not the country), we arrived in Albany. We found our hotel, then headed out to Mount Clarence for a spectacular 360 degree view of Albany and the surrounding area. it was a beautiful afternoon, with clear views. The next day, we were glad that we had taken the opportunity to visit the mountain, because we had a very rainy and overcast day (We even saw some sort of reptile/lizards).
We also got out in the rain to look at a place called "The Gap", a deep ravine in rock and also a natural rock bridge formed by the see, but we left the camera in the car and we were not going back to get it!
Day 5 we headed home after having a fantastic trip. Where to next?
