My Travel Diary.....Sharing With You Where I Had Been: whale

Margaret River Region is famous for its fine vineyards, beautiful coast and gourmet food. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Perth to Margaret River with the new freeway. This year, Margaret River host the Cow Parade and this is the last stop for the cows. I had only captured 11 shots of the cows and there are a about 89 of them spread around the MR Region.

Some of these cows are amazingly painted or decorated. Most of them are sponsored by the area where they are hosted.

Yahava Coffee places provides free coffee tasting, you can also buy the beans or coffee powder to take away with you. It is situated in a nice quiet location where one can enjoy a nice cup of coffee and let time slips past.

Margaret River Chocolate Factory is a all time favourite place in the region. It provides free samples on one type chocolate they made. There's heaps of choices to choose from and they are a great gift to buy. There's also a cafe in the shop for you to enjoy a cuppa after stressing yourself out what to buy. A huge viewing window shows you the kitchen side of the factory. Open 7days a week.

A lot of the Margaret River Region vineyards are located in Cowaramup but this famous and prestigious winery is located in Margaret River. The Voyager Estate is not only famous for it's wine but also it's beautiful gardens. Stepping into the Voyager, it brings one back to the classic Victorian time where you hear Mozart playing in your ears while the well groomed garden grace your entry. And if that's not enough, they have a huge tall mighty Aussie flag welcoming your visit.

Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse conducts tours every day starting from 9.30am, departing every 30minutes. It brings you to the interior of the lighthouse and of cos, the top of it. You can also go without the tour and go for the hike around the lighthouse as well.
