3-25 Scoops Farm

 We wanted something to do to for Nicholas that was close by - so we went to Scoops Farm. Turns out they didn't have that many animals but they did make their own ice cream.  The ice cream was good - the animals so so!

A calf and a couple of sheep.  

And there are goats.

Unknown kind of bird - not a farm animal.

Alpacas

Turkey

Rabbits

Chickens

Nicholas's favorite.  He would have loved to drive it.

3-24 Kangaroos

 So - as promised, Tim and I drove up and down many roads trying to spot kangaroos.  Tim and family had been out Monday evening and had found masses of them.  After much time had passed , we found a few and had to be satisfied.  

Tim got a good photo of me trying to capture the kangaroo hopping.

3-24 Juniper Winery

 Tim's Australian dream is to go to wineries at least twice a day.  We have talked him down to once every other day or so.  I went to Juniper winery with him because he promised to show me kangaroos after wards.  Wine tasting these days includes a lot of spitting - so my face doesn't end up bright red!

The owner's of this winery own this piece of art that they had made into their label.  I really like it, especially as the kangaroo on the left really reminds me of the Native American Kokopelli. 

Caroline who did our tasting reading from a wine magazine that wrote about the Juniper winery.

I am a sucker for flowers and they have an extensive garden area that was designed by a specialist.

The wine makers dog Bo followed us around while I was taking photos

3-24 Busselton Jetty

 Yesterday we drove back to Busselton - the infamous town of car dealers and fixing of mirrors - but this time to see the Busselton Jetty.

Nobody really at this restaurant - but we liked the signage.

Loved this tree - with the blossoms all clustered together.

The Jetty in the distance.

Umbrellas

Snorkeling.

Snorkelers - much further out - the water is still pretty shallow.

We did not pay extra for the ride to and back from the end of the Jetty.  There is also a small aquarium at the end of the Jetty.  Tim, Lisa and Nickolas went to it - but Michael and I took our time getting there as we took many photos.  We wished we could take the train back - but it was full.

A memorial section of the jetty.  No squid fishing was allowed here!

Thankfully there were a few benches along the way to stop and rest.

At the very end of the jetty.  

Resting before the long trek back.

Almost back on shore.  Once there we stopped for lunch at "the Goose".  I had my first fish and chips here.  It was very good.  So many places get it wrong by using a very thick coating and not getting the fish crisp enough.  I enjoyed this one.
