Bunbury 28 - 29 November 2006

Had a quiet morning and stayed at the beach front til after lunch. Moved onto Australind and wandered around the sights in grey weather and drizzle. Met a local couple who had just finished building their camper and they told us about a great spot on the edge of Bunbury, which we found opposite a small dam with lovely birds. Quiet and pretty. The rain came down and it was a lovely new experience (i.e. the rain!) In the morning we had a look around Bunbury, which is an attractive town surrounded by water. Spent some time walking the commercial shopping streets (a vanished experience but easily forgotten!) Went out to an area called The Cut which is the major inlet into the lake system and a great fishing spot on a reserve. Our reward was seeing lots of dolphins playing in the channel as the channel has very big swell and they were really enjoying it! No signs saying “no camping” and very quiet, pretty public parking. No choice! Great place to stay the night. Another quiet night with just the sound of the waves crashing on the other, unprotected, side!
