Margaret River [Coweramup] - 13 & 14 February 2010

2010.02.14 at 05h58m05s - Taunton Farm Holiday Park  30 of 564Margaret River is a very highly regarded wine producing region, they also produce excellent cheese and chocolate. We stayed at the Taunton Farm Caravan Park at Coweramup (Cowtown). This is a very pretty park with views over a dam to distant paddocks. It is about 15 kilometers from Margaret River but well sited to explore the wineries.
2010.02.14 at 15h25m07s - Cape Mentelle  49 of 564The first evening we ate at Arc of Iris which is nice and a BYO so you can enjoy the days purchases.

For lunch the next day we ate at Must which is truly excellent. Both these Restaurants are located in Margaret River Township.

We visited three wineries, Cape Menthelle, Cullens and Vasse Felix (Holmes a'Court). They were very beautiful and we enjoyed this.
Trish's favourite cheese is Margaret River Cheddar and so we visited the cheese shop and purchased some cheese.

2010.02.14 at 12h42m36s - Cheese Company  37 of 564We explored the coast near Coweramup Point and Gracetown.
On our way home we saw a local picnic music night and so we stopped to listen to the local children perform and as it was Valentines Day we bought a Lovers Lamb Roll for dinner and a donation to a good cause.
