We passed though the Margaret River region on our way through the south west. A really nice place and not you typical picture of Australia at all. It looks more like the west of Ireland than the west of Australia - Green fields, little farms, lots of rain (it's wintertime here now). Not too cold yet though, but a lot colder than up north. It was 35C in Broome and now it's dropped 10C to a chilly 25C here - Brrrrrrr!.
Margaret River produces a lot of wine and we passed lots and lots of rolling vineyards on the hills. Various people we'd met as we worked our way down south had suggested their favorite vineyards so we had a list prepare - So we spent a few days driving around tasting wine and cheese ... A little like that film 'Sideways', ... I have learned many, many new adjetives.
