Day 26
31/8/2010
We have left Fremantle and are staying 2 nights at the Big Valley Campground (33,58’957s 115’09’174e) 12kl east of Margaret River, our neighbours are sheep with lambs. On the drive through it reminded me of the drive between Kangarilla and McLaren Vale. The town of Margaret River has a resemblance that of a Hahndorf with the tree lined street, however, not so the shopping and heritage.
Kylie, our host, has given us a number of place to visit while we are here, a must see for your visit to Margaret River is the “Swallows Welcome Winery & Art Studio”. A lovely couple, John & Patricia, each have their passion, John an ex wheat farmer now happily growing grapes, making & sipping wine after making several thousand mud bricks to build his house, art studio, winery and yes his Chapel . Patricia busies herself painting nature, birds and Western Australian wild flowers these are on sale as originals, copies and published books. Each in what they do have managed to embed themselves, their pets and their passion in their specific crafts.
Expecting really bad weather today we have been pleasantly surprised, although a little rain, mainly fine with broken cloud.On the Thomas front, a better night last night, please keep praying for this little family.
Catch you tomorrow
John & Sheryle
