Another beautiful day!

We headed out about mid morning for a drive and the first place we ended up was the Busselton Jetty.

This jetty is very long and it has an underwater observatory at the far end. There is a small train that can take you out to the observatory. Since we were there (and had actually found a parking spot), we decided to check it out as it was on our list of places we wanted to see. Since it was Sunday, it was really busy and we were going to have to wait for 2.5 hours to go on the tour. Well, that didn’t seem like a great idea so we decided to come back another day during the week and explore the jetty. There was an open-air market going on just a while away so we wandered through it. They had everything from antiques to Christmas items to knitting to produce. We saw the largest cabbage that we’ve ever seen and it was only $1.50. As much as it broke our hearts to forego such a bargain, we knew we wouldn’t be able to get through it all in the next week and a half *g*

We drove around the outskirts of Busselton and eventually saw the Information Centre. We went in and picked up a few brochures and then decided it was time to try the Chocolate Beer at the Bush Shack Brewery. On the way there we saw kangaroos in a field but couldn’t get a good photo of them – we’ll try again since John had seen them in the same place early this morning.

The Brewery was very busy – looked like it was a favourite place for people to come for a picnic lunch and have a few beer. We decided that we would each get a different type of beer and do a taste test of all of them. I had the Chocolate Beer, John had the Strawberry Blonde Beer, Karen had the Apple Cider and Les had the Twisted Lemon Beer. Our favourite was the Strawberry Blonde, followed by the Twisted Lemon. The cider was nice and the Chocolate beer was interesting – it didn’t taste bad, and you could taste the chocolate but it was not a beer you would want to drink many of at once.

I think we might be heading back there again before we leave this area.

Once we got back to the condo, John and I went to the beach for a walk – unlike yesterday, there was no one else there so it was like our own personal beach *s*

We had to fuel up the car today – gas prices range from $1.44 to $1.49 per litre – guess we shouldn’t complain about our prices anymore!
