It was time for our annual trip to Dunsborough and we set off on Tuesday for a three hour drive down south. As usual Cheryl and Lisa took over the driving, while Viv and I sat like queens in the back. Although only for three days the boot and back of the car were jam packed with cases, holdalls and cool bags.
We stopped for coffee at the same place as last year, Midway Farm Stall.
This is a wonderful little spot for a quick break. There are animals and a playground, great for families.
We decided to have lunch before checking in so stopped an hour or so before we arrived in Dunsborough. A fantastic cafe called The Crooked Carrot, again ideal for families and so much nicer than a service station.
I love having the girls pose and am always coming up with suggestions.
Nothing goes to waste here, truck and pickup graveyard.
There was a wonderful vegetable and herb garden and hopefully all the ingredients could be found in the lunches being served.
Popping to the ladies I noticed a sign on the wall (I must remember this!)
Arriving in Dunsborough around 3pm, we checked in and headed straight to the beach. Geographe Bay has a spectacular coast line but not great for swimming but perfect for a shallow dip and for small children to splash and play.
Viv and I opted to walk out to the sand bank, we did get wetter than intended, but could have walked for miles.
The water is like looking through glass, so perfectly clear.

Walking along the beach we came upon this marvellous creation – manmade or natural? We decided it had to be manmade, like the crop circles! Just beautiful though.
Our first evening was spent in our accommodation (four bedroom house) and enjoying a takeaway from the curry van.
After dinner it was wine, cards and chocolate. We are serious card players and can play for hours, although it’s a good job we don’t play for money – I would be seriously poor.
More adventures tomorrow!
