There seems to be a winery in every second paddock, so you would wonder how they all survive financially, but a Beautiful spot.
Pulled into the Mandalay Resort Caravan Park, great spot on the beach.
Caught up with some friends of the Johnston's, Brian and Carol Strachan, locals from Busselton.
They kindly supplied a guided tour of the area, which was great , we would have missed most of it left to our own devices.
Drove down the coast towards Pt Naturalist, called in to a restaurant for morning tea, great place, choppers in the sky's to spot the sharks, and signs in the garden reminding us we were in an environmentally sensitive area!
The area has some great wineries to visit, so you need a few days here.

| Tribute to Steve Erwin Laurance Winery |
Laurance Winery, built in 2006 with an impressive building built from reclaimed timbers, and gold Statue in the lake, locally known as Chick on a Stick, Brian was involved in the construction, so gave us an insight into the complexities of building the structure, all in all very impressive.
Had Lunch at Black Brewing Co and Winery, great beer and food, no chance of keeping the girls of the Chardonnay here, or me off the Beer, very enjoyable afternoon.
Today went for as walk along the Jetty, 1.8 km long, the girls did a lot of grizzling about the distance and the wind, and the cold, but I thought it was good!
People were catching some nice Salmon, 50 cm plus, but commented they were not good eating, unless bled, these fellows were catching them to use as bait fish.
Had a cold front come through overnight, Busselton is quite well protected from south westerly's, so a bit of rain this morning but not much wind in the Caravan Park, so a nice place to live.
