We just got back from Margaret River.

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.

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.

We dropped in there an the way through. Would be a good base and they do group bookings. At Cowaramup which is not too far from that area.
