"ROO" Trip #1 - 19/01/'08
Seeing that I'm in the land of the wonderfully unique - kangaroos and the like - I've decided to name my road trips "roo" trips...
A few hours south of Perth is a beautiful town called Margaret River. The area is home to many great vineyards and some stellar beaches, so on the spur of the moment I decided to drive there on Saturday.
The first 2 hours of the trip were basically through suburbs and the time was ticking away. Seeing as I left Perth late in the day, I realized I wasn't going to make it to my destination in any good time, so I decided to look for an interesting departure road from the highway and about an hour later when the countryside became wonderfully represented, I saw a sign that said "scenic drive".
I took it and then found another diversion which was a red gravel road. I love this color of earth so thought I MUST drive on it. After 4km I arrived at Belvidere Beach, an amazingly uninhabited stretch of land at the south end of a long peninsula, which is a protected park. Not a soul around except for two large dolphins gliding by offshore - stunning.
Spent the day here - meditating, swimming, running and just generally "being"
Great lil' adventure - will get to Margaret River in the coming week(s)
