We had such a fantastic day with Sergio who is a most exceptional guide and driver. His interesting and knowledgeable commentary throughout our journey gave much appreciated insight into the people and Margaret River region. We visited Busselton Jetty and although our Underwater Observatory Experience was cancelled due to poor weather forecast and water conditions, we enjoyed our time in the bussling and lively atmosphere. From there we headed to Canal Rocks. Such an exhilarating site that not even the heavy winds and rain could dampen our excitement.
Sergio then introduced us to Gabriel Chocolates - a truly special award winning chocolate tasting experience with lots of produce from all over the world. Nearby in Yallingup we met lovely Jo at Windows Estate. Jo & Chris run their high end boutique winery and beautiful organic jams, sauces and pickled veggies are created in their Kitchen. Interesting producers with innovative processes to produce high quality wines and organic produce.
A quick visit for lunch and more wine sampling at Vasse Felix located in Cowaramup specialising in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
The opitome of our day was undoubtedly our arrival at Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse in Augusta located on the extreme south-west point of Australia. After a light sunshower, we were greeted by two bright rainbows. Such an exhilarating sight to see where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet and absolutely amazing landscape. Beware of the intensely fierce winds and rug up well.
Thank you so much Sergio for such an exceptional journey of exhilarating discovery and amazing new experiences in this wonderful part of our world.
