Thierings on Tour

The day started off with happy family members all around after everyone had a great sleep. Being in a house definitely felt like a novelty. 
We had a breakfast buffet included in our stay, so we took our time and indulged in all the good food. 

Then it was time for me to disappear for a couple of hours as I had a 2 hour spa treatment booked in. It was bliss!

Revived and looking a little less like a caravan inhabitant I emerged from my amazing treat to be reunited with my tribe and we set off on the next lot of adventures. 

We visited Canal Rocks and admired the stunning views of the ocean from the bridge, the rocks and surrounding areas. Scarly just woke up from her nap and was not loving it. On a clear and warm day it would have been amazing to have a swim and snorkel at the natural aquarium…
But with the weather hovering below 20C we didn’t even contemplate swimming of any kind. 

I’d read about Injidup natural spa, a thermal hot pool in the area, but just as we thought about going there it started drizzling and we cancelled that thought. It’s such a shame that the weather has been less than average, because this is such a beautiful part of the world that really shows its magic in good weather!

We stopped for a drink and a play at Cheeky Monkey Brewery and tasted some of the local craft beer and ginger beer – delicious. The kids loved playing at all the different play equipment and exploring the gardens. The weather stopped just enough to make it enjoyable for all.

We checked in and set up camp and headed out again to see some of the Margaret River town. There was a park with an old steam train from 1895 built in England and yet more play and exercise equipment… the girls loved it and all decided they want to get sporty. We didn’t explore the nearby trails today, but I always love reading local Aboriginal stories about country.

We went for a walk across the bridge to find the old town settlement, an example of where families from the UK would have lived as the dairy farm industry was established in the region. It makes me very grateful for all the comforts and infrastructure we have today seeing some of these historic places…

A busy day in the end!
