beach, beach, busselton

We woke up bright and early on our final morning, 5:23 to be exact, the sun was already out so we leisurely packed up and headed into Margaret River town for some brekkie and a coffee to wake ourselves up. 

We sat staring at the map as we slowly woke up, how can we end our perfect little trip away? And then we had a brain wave, a tour of all the best beaches on the way home! 

Okay, Okay I'll stop.

And then we got to Busselton, which is a beautiful coastal town only a few short hours from home..

By this time our tummies were rumbling, and there was only one option for these two hungry travellers... The Goose, is one of my favourite places to grab a drink in the whole world. Nestled right on the edge of the beach with a beautifully crafted menu and a cracking cocktail list. We grabbed a table outside and decided to share a pizza and chips.

Talk about food with a view! 

 The food was awesome and pretty good value for money, especially considering the location. We toyed with heading straight home but it felt almost criminal to be in Busselton and not walk the jetty.

so we grabbed a giant ice-cream each from Simmo's before we set of..

By the time we'd walked the 2km we were baking hot, there was only one logical way to cool of...so we stripped down to our swimmers any jumped in. 

The perfect end to a perfect getaway!

gon' south | part three

I've been super busy so kind of forgot to blog....oops! Here's the final part of our trip down south...

After all those beautiful forests we thought it was high time we headed towards the sea, so headed back down towards Cape Leeuwin to see where the two oceans meet...




Dan's brother spent the whole car journey telling us about a youtube video where you can see two oceans moving in completely different directions, so I was expecting something along the lines of moses splitting the seas. Sadly there was absolutely no different between the two oceans, but it was pretty cool to visit regardless.

From there we started heading back up the coast towards Perth. We'd planned to visit a couple of Australia's awesome caves whilst away so made sure to take half a day to visit Jewel Cave.





Jewel Cave is the biggest cave open to the public in WA and it is absolutely spectacular. We had an extremely knowledgeable guide who lead us down more steps than I can count and through all the chambers explaining all the amazing formations as we went.

It was about lunch time by the time our tour was over so we grabbed a snack and headed further north to Bussleton, a seaside town around 220km south of Perth.





Busselton is renouned for it's jetty, which at 2km is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. The jetty's closed for ships these days but is kept busy by tourism and the local fishermen, who you'll find casting lines all along the jetty. We took a nice walk to the end and back before a wonder along the beach and back in to town for dinner. And with full tummies, big grins and memories to last a lifetime we headed back to the car for the drive home.
