Cycling in Margaret River

Rob and Helen discovered that cycling to the Berry Farm was a very pleasant experience. They went via Rosa Brook Road, Rosa Glen Road then Davies Road and back into town and then back to us along the Wallcliffe Road cycleway. They really enjoyed the Berry Farm and some of the wineries they passed. The roads did not have much traffic and are very scenic. Rob is just posing here on his bike.

Lunch at King Trout in Pemberton

Visited Pemberton which is only an hour and a half drive away from us in Margaret River. The country side is very pretty at this time of year and you go through some magnificent Karri forests. We stopped first at The Warren Vineyard and tasted some of their excellent wines. We then went to King Trout which is a trout breeding and fishing farm as well as having a lovely restaurant. I had the best trout I have ever had. You can also get a platter of trout and yabbies that looked really delicious.

They have a large lake stocked with trout. You can hire a fishing rod and have a go at catching the trout yourself. The scenery around the lake was very pretty and Bella of course had to go in for a swim. 

We drove back via Nannup which was very lovely as well.
