That night, we cook pasta for dinner. It was good idea because it was raining heavily with thunder for the entire evening! We spent the night in the cabin without going anywhere. 


Next morning, we had pasta for breakfast. It tasted even better after it was left over night! The caramel coffee was very tasty too.


The rain stopped briefly in the morning and there were puddles of water every where. Since the area is dry most of the year, even this much water was not able to turn the soil into mud. 


The cabin looks small from the outside, but it was actually having 2 rooms and a very spacious toilet with shower. 


There was even a barbecue pit next to the cabin. Too bad it was too wet for us to use it, or else we will be spending the night in the great outdoors too!


It was an enjoyable stay at the cabin in Margaret River. The weather does feel colder after the night's rain. Time to head back to Perth for the rest of the our holidays.

After lunch, we went to the Berry farm to get some niec jam. The highlight of the place is the playground! XN and DH played there for a quite a long time.


The rain had stopped and there are some brief sun shine peaking through the clouds. DH wanted to take off his shoes and run around in the sand.


The flowers there were beautiful. Nice colours everywhere. 


We had desert and tea at the cafe in the Berry Farm. The cake tasted great and even the birds liked to eat them too!


Wow, there were even strawberrys growing in the bushes next to our table!

For Lunch, we went to the Watershed wine yard. It was drizzling when we got there. 


XN had the kid's meal. Which wasjust burger and some fries.


DH also enjoyed his lunch, especially the fries,  it is always his favourite. There was also a playground at the restaurant, even it is a wet day, the children was still playing there!


The background was the restaurant building and there are the grape vines too!

After breakfast in the morning, we went to the Margaret River Sun Flower Animal Farm to feed the animals. The place was very well kept and very clean too. The buckets of food contains bread which smell nice and good for even human consumption!


Even where the pigs stay it is also very clean and there were no foul smell at all. Look at the size of that animal, it is huge!!!


DH loved to feed those animals and he was not afraid of even the biggest horse in the farm. 


XN also enjoyed feed the animals, especially the smaller ones like the ducks and goats.


The chickens liked to eat the sun flower seeds. All XN had to do was to sprinkle some on the ground and they will peck them up one by one.


Suddenly, it started to rain again and we had to end the tour at that point and head to our next destination.

That night, we had wood fire pizza at Margaret River, it was very nice. The weather is turning cooler and the rain did not stop. We went to our cabin after dinner and we checked ourselves in.


The cabin had 2 rooms and we can cook at the kitchen too. It was a cosy place. The rain stopped briefly the next morning and we can go out for a walk around the cabin area.


There are 8 cabins in the same area, and the vegetation around the area are very unique with wild berry and brightly coloured flowers. If the weather was sunny, it will be a perfect place to have a picnic.


There is even an axe on a block of wood for chopping fire wood! Cool!

We reached Busselton Jetty at about 4pm and it was drizzling, the sea gulls are glad to see us because XN and DH were feeding them with bread that we brought from this morning. 


The Jetty had a very nice and clean beach, but there was no one in the water as it was getting a bit too cold! 


Taking the open air tram to the observatory at the end of the 1.5Km jetty is a fun journey.  DH and XN really liked it.


The marine life at the bottom of the observatory are really breath taking! Schools of fish can be seen swimming in the waters. Even if we are about 1Km out from shore, the sea is only about 30 feet deep.


We took the same picture the last time we came to this place many years before.

On the way to Margaret river, DH and XN were playing games with each other in the car.


The scenery out side the car are flat green pastures for farming animals.


We stopped by Bunbury for Nando's Chicken lunch, it was very good compared to what we had back home.


XN had a lot of chicken and we had to pack some for DH because..... DH was still in the car just outside the window in the background.


DH was sleeping outside in the car while we were all having lunch inside the restaurant! He slept through the entire lunch time!

The next morning, we woke up and went out to look for breakfast. We walked out of the hotel and there were shops selling breakfast items like bread, ham and cheese.


DH went shopping with us and he was singing and happily walking along the street. 


Making our own breakfast in the hotel was a very good idea. XN made her own sandwich and she really enjoyed it too.


We fisnihed the ham and took brought along the magerine and bread with us for the coming road trip to margret river.

We arrived in Perth on time and got the rental car! Its boot was big enough for all the bags we had.


On the way to the hotel, we saw some very interesting plants which includes this very HOT chili tree!


First meal at Perth, Vietnamese beef soup noodles. It was fantastic because of its authentic soup, noodles and perfectly cooked beef. 


Out side the shop was this strange cars with lots of stickers. DH really liked it and keep pointing at the different stickers on the car. 


If you are ever in the area, this is the shop to try. DH highly recommends it too.
