Perth, Margaret River & Snow Patrol
The day after the Hobart Cup - Feb 13th, Michelle and I headed off to Perth for 5 nights. After the long flight, the thought of relaxing in our apartment was out-weighed by the NEED to go shopping. The next day was Valentines Day, so we spent that and the next day tripping around the Margaret River wine region.. YUM!! We did a number of other things including a tour under the Fremantle Prison, dining on the edge of Cottesloe Beach, and of course - more shopping!!
Saturday night was the culmination and the reason for the trip - we went out for dinner, and then went to see Snow Patrol at the Belvoir Amphitheatre - a wonderful out-doors stage in the Swan Valley wine region. If wee'd been more organised we could have been back there the next day to see Good Vibrations, but ahh well... cest le vie!
There's a severe lack of hills in the Perth region, but apart from that it was an awesome trip and a place well worth visiting, or even living!!!
Now for the pics!!
What better way to start a tour in one of the countries most famous wine regions than having a plate of beer - Bootleg Brewery, best micro-brew beer I've tasted!
Great number plate!!
Thompson Estate (had to stop for Michelle's name sake!!)
The Vasse Felix cellar door
Chelle and I on the coast walk track at Margaret River
Wine tasting at Watershed... top stuff!
Voyager Estate - a definite 'must see' in the Margaret River region!
Some crazy woman out the front of Voyager Estates MASSIVE flag pole
Whale watching at Cape Naturaliste
Michelle hanging on the beach infront of the Busselton Jetty
The ladder down to the tunnels under the Freo Prison
Little Creatures brewery / bar
Saturday nights sunset before the concert
Snow Patrol
