Our days in Western Australia are coming to an end. Actually, I've found I should be referring to where we are as the far Southwestern part of West Australia as West Australia state takes up almost a third of Australia's total landmass.
On Thursday and Friday we visited the Boranup Forest and the Mouth of the Margaret River. We had another high end dining experience and a great wine tasting.
Around where we are staying
There has been a paucity of laundry to photograph. I finally had to just take a picture of our own. At least, there was a view.
There is neighborhood store that serves not only the community but all the people who come to Gracetown for water activities
Boranup Forest - noted for some special trees that via a bunch questions we determined were special because...well...they're special
"G'day Mate. I'm special"
"You're no more special then we are mate!"
Let's just acknowledge you are all special in your own tree like way

Lovely woman (how many wonderful people have we met this trip) who runs a cafe in said forest
Wine tasting at Moss Wood
2B had me do a bunch of wine tastings and I admit the wine in Margaret River region is not at all like the stereotype of Australian wines. This particular winery only does tastings by appointment and include a tour.

Grapes
Because of a storm coming in, they were working like crazy to get all the grapes off the vines
Getting wine right out of the barrel
The Margaret River Mouth was a bit of a disappointment as the river didn't even make it to the sea. But the coast was still nice.
There were PENGUINS

High End Food...Not my thing but we had a lot of it and I had to admit most of it was gorgeous and it did taste good. Just not worth the cost.
Salad
Believe it or not, these are a potato dish
A fish dish
Butter with honey
We had an odd incident with this restaurant. They refused to let us takeaway any of our leftovers. They had some policy that it would be a food hazard and liability to them. I've never heard or experienced such a thing in all my years. I mad a big ole stink. Said they should at least let you know in advance of this policy you didn't over buy. They ended up taking all the food we were going to take home off the bill.
