Busselton and Margaret River wineries.

Mother and Daughter having a couple of champagnes and just taking it easy.............warming up for the winery tour tomorrow.
Winery No.1. I was quite gone after first tasting. It was only 10.45am. I dont usually start till 11am.
We had a day out on a Bushtucker wine tour. What a day!!! We tasted 40 wines, had a glorious lunch, went to a cheese and dairy factory and a chocolate factory and a brewery.(in that order too). As we got off the bus our guide wanted a photo as we were the biggest p----pots for the day. Or at least Dave was. He even got a free doormat for getting so much wine....
We visited a chocolate factory too and Dave was very pleased as he could go back as many times as he wanted, so he took a paper bag. It was only meant to be what you could carry in your hands. Yeah right!!!!
This is how we ended the day at A Brewery. Em and Dave polished off a tasting tray.
This is the famous Busselton jetty and Dave brought us here to show us specially only to find that they are renovating and it wont be reopened till the end of the year. Bugger... We could walk on the first 200m and that gave you a little taste of the real thing.
This was our setup while Emma was over for hols. Take note of the grey power pole as this was the one that bit Billy. Emmas tent eventually got flattened in a storm the day she left.
This is what happened to Billys face at Busselton. We had only been in the park for 10mins setting up when Billy was kicking the footy and kicked the ball up and kept his eyes on the ball and didnt see the power pole in front of him. Damage was done to his left cheek and his nose. He was only bent like this for 2weeks. The bruising came out the next day and has only just started to go away now. Poor bugger!!!!
Emma spotted this little fella in the creek on our walk to the beach. She spotted it, Dave dived in with rake in hand and chased him all over the creek until he got him. He ended up on crackers for afternoon tea.
Another one of the painted cows. We thought this one was very nice. It was in Busselton near the jetty.
