This year’s extra long “5 day weekend” for Easter/Anzac Day was taken advantage of by almost everyone, so bf and I joined the crowd and went down south to visit Margaret River along with half of Perth. The streets in Perth seemed so deserted and gradually became busier during our drive down to Busselton.

We stopped by Bunbury on the Easter Friday where it was mostly deserted except for tourists. Luckily I had already been to Bunbury because the visitor center was closed and we couldn’t get a map of sites to visit.

Busselton was our next stop.

Our accommodation was at Abbey Beach Resort, situated closer to Busselton than Dunsborough, it was one of the last places to be booked out for the weekend. The Studio apartment had it’s own little kitchenette with microwave and mini-fridge and all the essential things like kettle, ironing board and cutlery all provided for.

Abbey Beach Resort also had plenty of family friendly facilities available which we didn’t utilise,  even Geographe Bay in the backyard of the resort.

Of course, you can’t go to Busselton and not visit the Busselton Jetty!

And we even took the train to the Underwater Observatory.

We walked the length back to shore, checking out the fishing potential.

And chomped down on some yummy ice cream from Simmo’s to regain our energy =)

Day 2 we headed out to Dunsborough, it was buzzing full of people .

And of course we went to hit the wineries.

Day 3 we went into Margaret River.

And right into the darkness of Mammoth Cave…
