Australia 2016 - En Route to Margaret River

There are many events planned for family and friends arriving from all around Australia and the world (well, mostly Seattle) for the wedding. One was a weekend in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. Famous for its wines, the area is a very popular surfing, camping, and hiking area as well. The weekend we were there was also a four-day weekend here - the equivalent of Labor Day in the USA - so we joined everyone else in exploring this grand place.

When we headed for Margaret River we stopped in Busselton to see the famous jetty, longest in the Southern Hemisphere at 2 KM. Things being what they are, we ran into Amy Powelson and her Auntie Jean (Eileen’s sister)!

After Busselton we went out to the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, the northern end of the Margaret River region.

After we had explored the lighthouse, Larry asked at the shop where the restrooms were. The clerk, identifying “restrooms” as toilets, gave him directions and then said to his companion, “restrooms?”
