Margaret River is a small town south of Perth in western Australia, known for its craft breweries, boutiques and surrounding wineries.The beaches and surf breaks are all along the nearby coast, whose waters host migratory whales stretching between 2 lighthouses north and south of the town, the long-distance walk, the Cape to Cape Track, fringes the limestone caves and sea cliffs of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
That’s the tourist spec we spent our time eating, drinking and taking in the obligatory wine tasting day. When I say day I mean day ! a full eight hours being quite calmly with a coffee tour ……the Aussies certainly know their coffee to me they were all hideous nothing wrong with a bit of Nescafé Gold !
The wine tasting was a whole different story. Now any other wine tasting I have ever done has been taste 3 wines then have a look at the process and so on. This was a whole new ball game we turned up had a menu of about 30 wines including fizz, each we were given to taste only to be told to turn over the page for the reds yes another full menu ! The day consisted of three vineyards, one brewery, olives and cheese makers and a chocolate factory Pip and Clare you would have been in heaven ! 
Even Iain. Struggled with a few of them 
The settings were beautiful but it was a long old day.
Next day we went on to visit the underground caves which were sacred grounds of the Aboriginal people, 360 steps down and not for the faint hearted we were told ….conclusion was that it was just really hot but fascinating. Pip this definitely would have been one for Brad 
If you can see the name of the caves Ngilgi apparently you drop the first ” G” 
the tour guide a very serious eco warrior was asking the group how you pronounce the name to which Iain shouts out ” Nigel” much to the amusement of Rory who later informs Iain that using that name in reference to aborigine culture is a huge insult……seriously you could have heard a pin drop, she was not amused.
A long drive home but a beautiful sunset
