OK, never judge a book by its cover. Bunbury may not have been a picture postcard setting (and I've seen so many here) and on my last posting I was bored with waiting to check in my hostel so I was a bit putout, but... Bunbury gave me one of the coolest hostels I've stayed in, it provided the best fish meal I've ever had, it had some of the friendliest locals I've met AND it gave me dolphins - 3 of them. Bunbury you are a little star. Ok, now I'm in Marg...

Greetings from Exmouth and I'll tell you what, it's beautiful here. We're talking wilderness that goes on for miles and miles and big empty beaches, and as many wild Kangers and Emus running about as you want.
