    Trip to Margaret River area in WA

    We just got back from Margaret River.

    marg river 001 (1024x678).jpg marg river 005 (1024x673).jpg marg river 007 (1024x654).jpg

    Had a couple of days in motel there, but thought we would have some fun while we were there, so we went down to Boranup Drive which the local tourist map says was a four wheel drive scenic drive.

    Found that a little tame so we made our own way off that road onto some of the other roads/walk tracks off Boranup Drive.

    Found a cave not open to the public. Its called Nanup cave. Not allowed in without a permit.

    Anchor Drive, Arumvale road and Boranup Beach Road.

    marg river 087 (1024x678).jpg marg river 088 (1024x678).jpg marg river 089 (1024x678).jpg marg river 090 (1024x678).jpgmarg river 091 (1024x678).jpg marg river 092 (1024x678).jpg marg river 093 (1024x678).jpg marg river 094 (1024x678).jpg

    Overall a real good day. Boranup Beach Road is about as far as I would go without another vehicle. Its narrower than it looks and no turn around if you hit trouble. And yes, I have got radio in case we got onto trouble. Interestingly after leaving the main drag we didn't see another vehicle.

    Great pics mate. It is quite nice down there. A few mates and I went down there and spent a week camping in the bush for leavers, fun times. We were not that pre-pared didn't even have a bbq. I suppose we had tents though.
