After a few failed attempts at flying to Western Australia due to COVID border closures, we finally managed to cross the border to reunite with our travel besties from Brisbane, Terri & Ben, who were living and working in Fremantle with their two cute pugs, Butters & Spud.
We had the best week together – a road trip to Margaret River (aka Margs) where we explored wineries and breweries including Swings & Roundabouts, the Beer farm and an incredible degustation long lunch with matching wines at Rustico at Hay Shed Hill. We visited the beautiful Meelup Farmhouse in Eagle Bay and their cute farm animals before continuing on to Wise Vineyard for lunch overlooking the ocean as well as their cellar door & distillery where we couldn’t resist a gin tasting featuring native Australian botanicals like quandong and lemon myrtle.
When we weren’t eating and drinking our way around the region, we were exploring the beautiful beaches and coastal walks around Smiths Beach and the Cape to Cape track.
Back to their place in Freo, we explored Coogee, Perth and the sights close to where Terri & Ben were living and working. Highlights of our stay included Kings Park, the historic Round House on High Street, beers at Running with Thieves and one of the best dinners of the trip at Tonic & Ginger.
