The Margaret River Trip - April 5th -7th 2010 Day One—April 5th Our trip started not-so-bright and early.The four of us (Jenn, Jake, Rojesh and I) left Murdoch before the sun was up (around 6am) in order to make good time on the road since Margaret River is about a 3-hour drive South of Perth.We first stopped in Bunbury at Jake's mom's place with intentions of picking up snorkel gear.We got a bit sidetracked with his 6 or so cats and some brekky that we act...
