We have decided to stay in Busselton for another week and use it as a base to see all the area including Dunsborough (a beaut spot…only 10 minutes from Busselton), Augusta (1 hour away), Gracetown and of course Margaret River district (less than half an hour away).

We spent yesterday down south enjoying the Margaret River, but also seeing the devastation caused by the bush fires just before Christmas when about 40 homes were lost. The fire started while the authorities were doing, in hind- site, an  incorrectly timed routine burn off to prevent fires. Out of respect for the home owners, I did not take any photos of the burnt out homes. So sad.

Today we have been car less due to a Mum and baby possum taking residence under our car.We moved them yesterday, but did not have the heart to move them today as it has been very hot, so spent the day working, relaxing and bike riding. The possums are so cute, except when they insist on peering down at me from the top of the caravan while we are trying to sleep!!!!  They sound like baby elephants.
