I can highly recommend Wills Domain. I went there (again) recently for my friends birthday lunch. The day was late winter, not a leaf on any of the tortured timbered vines. The last of the winter clouds wafting in from the sea and across the landscape, eucalypts and vines.
Looking down to the Gunyulgup Valley, the sea further on and visible on a sunny day. |

As much as I love children, avoid those high traffic times in school holidays. Ask the question when booking.
This is the end of winter at the Margaret River mouth |
Olive Oil Producer, Cafe, Shop
Suitable for everyone, including dogs
Also one of my regular favs. It's a great place to take visitors. They have fabulous tastings of their delicious olive oils. There are many beautifully presented and packaged gift ideas. Take home sauces for an easy meal after a hard day of wine tasting and vineyard visiting.
Robin.... Olio Bello, a beautiful smile and great service |

This is the perfect location for a big dog or two (on leads of course), there are sheep at the end of this avenue of olive trees. |
You can have tea, coffee, cake, ice cream. Have a little picnic with the kids and grandies, perfect.
You cant see them from here, but there are sheep down the back there. |

RtTs From Gnarawary Rd going north |
I can't walk the entire length of the trail (yet), so I have been starting on different roads that cross over it. Doing the research, the length of it varies between 13.5kms to 15kms. Basically it starts from Cowaramup, heads south through Margaret River and down to Gnarawary Rd near Leeuwin and Voyager Estates. So I walk for about 15 minutes one way and then back again. Or longer depending on the feet. You could count them all as separate walks as they are all so different. I will write more about these walks later. But some of these photos are part of a post I am compiling on walks.

Yes have written about them before. And have been there twice in the last month. First was a meeting for the Creative Corner, a group that was formed by The South West Development Commission and has generated the Emergence Creative. They are forming an environment for South West 'creatives' to come together. So we had a meeting there one late afternoon.
It's about 20 minutes out of town. Summer time they have a bus to and from Margs. The beer is fabulous and I have always had what one would call... 'good pub food' there. After the meeting members were joined by their family and stayed on for pizzas. I had organised Kel to pick me up. Not wanting to drink and drive.
