A special event (birthday) demanded a special lunch and where better than a Margaret River winery. Woody Nook was just our sort of place - family run by excellent hosts Peter and Jane, rural, great wines and food. To be fair, we had been recommended by friends in England. After an excellent wine tasting and lunch we were treated to a tour of the wine distillery and then a vineyard and then more tasting. Again Australian hospitality came to the forefront when this excellent day ended with us staying in the  superbly appointed Woody Nook lodge.

On to our final destination Fremantle. What a great place, up there with best i.e. Barcelona, San Sebastien, Budapest etc. We spend several days reliving memories, morning and evening swims on South Beach, coffees on the Cappuccino strip, the superb indoor weekend market and the best fish and chips outside England at Cicerellos on the harbour and not forgetting the excellent free hop on hop off bus service.
