Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
Day 40 Sun 20 Jun 16, Albany to Margaret River 395km, cloudy but fine early with rain from about 11am, 10 to 18deg. Got away at 7:50am and headed for Mt Barker and then Manjimup where we had a walk around town. Couldn't avoid the bakery which had great looking vanilla slices. Wendy got one but Greg opted for the kabarna sausage in a pastry roll. Both nice with a coffee back at the van. Onward we went through some very impressive and diverse farming territory, with dairy, cattle, sheep and hardwood & pine timber being the main ones. The countryside was stunning as all this rain equals beautiful green crops and pastures. Pulled into Margaret River Tourist Park just before 2pm. A fairly windy day road wise and some narrow, twisty and undulating stretches so it was good to have it behind us. After setting up, lunch and an LLD we took a walk into town. Great little place with lots of eateries, shops and the normal suspects. Dinner was pork chop for Wendy and salmon for Greg with smashed veggies.
