Day 77. Bacon and eggs for Sunday breakfast as the fine weather returned after rain falling on the van overnight. Today we are visiting the Swan Valley wineries, notably Sandleford, Lancaster and Houghtons. First a detour to the heritage listed village of Guildford and the very helpful information centre. A walk around the old town, so many beautiful old buildings and churches. Morning tea in a quaint little cafe and then drove up the Swan Valley Road to the wineries. We really liked the contrast between the two big wineries with the small Lancaster winery set in the vineyard in an open tin shed. Stocked up on mainly cab sabs, shiraz and tawny port. Lunch at The Cheese Barrel where we shared a farmers platter while overlooking the dormant vineyards and then onto the very Italian Mondo Nougat Factory. Refuelled and back at our van late so we showered and drove down the coast on dusk to very lively Scarborough Beach for a tasty meal at the Thai Palace. Fine sunny day 19 degrees, drove 95km. Tomorrow we head south to seaside Busselton and onto the beautiful Margaret River region.
