Day 16: Travelling on: Off to Margaret River (Tue. 7/1/14)



It was time to move on. As we only had to go as far as Margaret River, we did not really have to make an early start. Saying goodbye was easy too, because we would see them again in Albany on Friday, all being well.
It is quite remarkable how a 4-night stay makes you forget about what needs to be done to get on to the road again. However, by paying attention and cross-checking we got the job done and made our way down the freeway in a southerly direction.
The road was good, the weather co-operated, the caravan toddled on behind without a murmur. We breezed around Bunbury, Joke checking in on Facebook on the way. The next time we had reception, there was a message from Helen Jonker, inviting us for lunch in Bunbury! Oh, the power of social media! We declined with regret, having passed Busselton by then and into the home stretch for Taunton Farm Holiday Park near Cowaramup.
Once there, we settled in and vedged out. We had been here once before, in a cabin that time, and we had promised ourselves to bring the caravan here. The park is spacious, quiet and pleasant, part of a working farm. There were a lot of young families with kids there, but this did not cramp our style in any way. Dinner was to be pizzas – not home-made as home was too far away – but our favourite thin ones heated up on the Weber.
