Tash and Todd stayed with us last night and this morning we set off rather early to the Olive Oil Soap Factory...this is their driveway...(we enjoyed listening to the cricket on the way!)

 

Next stop was Hayshed Hill again for another quick visit...Tash took this photo of Pete and I.

 

The lake on the Hayshed Hill property....

 

Todd, Pete and Tash at Pt Piquet....the water was unbelievably clear, sooo nice. 

What a fabulous day we had today.....

 

Hayshed Hill Winery...where we had breakfast with Todd, Tash, Jo and Ash....this is where Todd and Tash are getting married next year.

 

The view from the restaurant...stunning

 

 

After breakfast we stopped off at the place we call The Aquarium which is a little spot along the coast near Canal Rocks..

 

 

...there are calm, crystal clear rock pools deep enough to swim in and also some areas where the waves come crashing in, with views up the coast..

 

 

Brad, Jo, Ash, Pete and Nerida...

 

 

...the beautiful beach is covered in little broken shells..

 

 

In the evening we all met up again at Meelup for a picnic dinner ....

 

and a game of Kubb (outdoor game)....

 

....then watched the sky change colours over the water as the sun set...

 

Smith's Beach....looking as stunning as ever...wonderful swim there this morning.

 

Pete and I are staying at Niki's place whilst down in Dunsborough and today we invited Juliet and Chris, Tash, Todd, Ash, Jo,  Nerida and Brad (who are all holidaying down south as well) to lunch. After which we all went for walk down to the foreshore...very enjoyable day.
