Busselton district and back to Perth via NJS
Dear all,
This is an update to Wednesday the 13th.
I just wanted to let you know I had a good trip to Busselton. I stayed overnight at the Baudin Lodge B&B and that was quite an enjoyable experience. Lovely new accommodation. There are four double bedrooms with ensuite joining onto a common living, dining, kitchen area. Delightfully appointed. There were two elderly couples staying over and we really enjoyed each other’s company very much. One couple were visiting from Vancouver, Canada and the subject of Faith’s recent trip over there was a good topic for discussion. I gather they live quite nearby Bouchart Gardens which you will remember so well Faith. (I hope I have remembered the name correctly).
I had an opportunity to drive around the Busselton district on Monday afternoon. Heather Jenkins at Geographe Bay tourist association provided a hire car for me and arranged some free access at several spots. I went out to Dunsborough, Cape Naturaliste, Yallingup, Prevelly, Mount Margaret and back to Busselton via Carbanup and the Margaret River wine district. I made it back in time to join them for dinner at the Ship Inn and they shouted an excellent local grain fed beef steak and bottle of Margaret River Cab Sav.
Surfing at Yallingup. The famous break has been flattened a bit by the strong on-shore wind, but the surfers were still persisting.
The real work was done on Tuesday morning starting at about 6:00 with the positioning flight arriving very early from Perth to take the miners up to the Pilbara. I completed the aerodrome inspections during the day and then reviewed the return flight. Unfortunately my visit to Busselton came to an end all too quickly as I had to jump on the flight back to Perth, but I’ll be back to Busselton again soon. It really is a lovely spot and in some respects it reminded me of towns like Port Lincoln and Beachport.
The flight back to Perth was a very scenic run via Rotnest Island and boy, did I get some spectacular pictures.
Fremantle harbour, from VH-NJR while on descent into PER via Rotnest Island on the way back from Busselton.
Perth city, from the jump seat on VH-NJR, taking the cruisey route to PER via Rotnest Island and the Swan River.
Short final at PER, from the jump seat on VH-NJR.
