Margaret River and Mandurah, Tuesday 2 April


We left Cape Lodge near Margaret River late morning after a leisurely breakfast and a few photos.  The weather was back to its best.  This was the view when I looked out of our window first thing.



These photos were taken on our walk back from the restaurant.   




The picture with Mark in it would have been a bit better if I had n't stepped on part of an ant's nest while taking it.... no lasting damage fortunately.


A final shot of the terrace. 


Our next stop, Mandurah, is about 70 km from Perth Airport and is an ideal stop over.    After a 2 hour 30 minute drive we cooled off in the resort pool - very pleasant.   We've just walked back after a thai meal in the town.  Lovely views from the jetty near our apartment.

We were sitting near Elizabeth Quay waiting before our Swan River cruise to Freemantle when we heard this crashing sound....a big bit of palm tree landed behind our seat.  A guy sitting nearby suggested that we should do the lottery!  It was windy, but not gale force. We were lucky and left smiling! The river cruise took most of the afternoon and we loved it.  Great views of Elizabeth Quay - fairly new and aimed at the tourist market. The coast line near Freemantle reminds us of  last year's sailing holiday in Croatia There's lots of sporting activity in the Swan River,  paragliding and sailing....these photos  are for Rob T. We saw a couple of dolphins but they did n't hang around long enough to be photographed...or Jane doe...
