Day 3 : Margaret River

0800 :: As usual, DN is up before us and he bugs us to get up by (trying to) lift our heads and saying "Up! Up! Up!"
0845 :: Bussells Bushland Cottages is actually a group of 8 cottages on a big (ish) piece of land, so there are little walk trails around the estate. We decide to try one out and we saw... 2 kangaroos bounce past us! The city mice are very excited. (especially the female one who almost dropped the camera when trying to take a photo of them and took pictures of trees instead)
1000 :: DN naps in the cottage.
1300 :: Lunch at Xanadu Winery and the city mice are very satisfied. (now we can tell people we visited a winery!)
1500 :: Visit Sunflowers Farm. DN is so excited about the whole thing, he misses his 2nd nap totally.
1730 :: We drop by Margaret River Town and pick up some groceries.
2100 :: Story time and bed for DN.

Lunch (at Xanadu) :: AU$47.50
Farm Entry & Animal Feed :: AU$19
Groceries :: AU$12 (cheerios, eclair, pear tart, water, baby toothbrush)

That's DN on the trail. He's strangely dressed coz we didn't change him out of his pajamas, haha!



I swear the kangaroos are somewhere in the picture!

That's us at Cottage 2. :)



I put some bird food into the bird house and they came! While DN was napping. -_-

PF and I shared this sampler plate (AU$33). It was so good, it's not funny.








(clockwise from top left)
Coriander crusted lamb rump, chickpea salad, minted yoghurt :: Miso marinated king george whiting, sushi rice, tukudani (the best!) :: Spiced curry tofu, broccolini, black bean sauce :: Sheep's feta tiropita, beetroot, pear & rocket salad ::

That's the Xanadu Restaurant. It won a "Gold Plate Best Restaurant within a Winery" award in 2007.

PF took this as we were leaving. One of my fav pics of the holiday. Wish DN didn't have the "tutu" in his mouth though.

DN carrying the bucket of feed at the farm. It was filled with carrot sticks, lettuce, wholemeal bread and oats. He LOVED the farm so we went there again on our last day at Margaret River.

He liked feeding the alpacas best, we don't know why. Their pen was our first stop and DN gave away a third of his bucket there. It was also our last stop and the alpacas came running when they saw DN. I'm serious.

PF took this pic as we left their pen. I think DN overfed him. (the alpaca, not PF)

DN and a joey. :)














DN : "Geez you stink. Go take a shower NOW."

(that's a rabbit btw)
