This is where we stayed......... at the Peppermint Park Eco Village. A very affordable, comfortable, peaceful and nice place to stay. I would recommend anyone who is looking for accommodation down south. (http://www.peppermintpark.com.au/)
Once arriving at Peppermint Park, we got ourselves organized and made our way to Canal rocks to start fishing. Jessy and I went exploring around the rocks. We founds some crabs lingering among the crevice. Apparently, someone that has been fishing there for a while told us that we might be able to spot eels in the small rock pools. The scenery was beautiful too!
The guys were surveying and finding the best fishing spot. However, no luck! All they caught were seaweed. Hehehehehhehe.....;)
Then we head down to the famous Busselton jetty. We spotted a few schools of fish swimming past. Unfortunately, that night the fish weren't interested in our bait. I guess we'll try again tomorrow.
This is Day 2 of our trip. We woke up at 5am to try our luck at Canal rocks again. It was pitch black when we got there..... so the boys went off to do their fishing first, while Jessy and I had a little snooze in the car.
When the sun came up, Jessy and I decided to go look for the boys. We had to do some serious rock climbing to get to them. Good morning exercise though. Hehehehehehe..... ;)
After a few hours of fishing, my bubs caught 3 buff breams and a few strings of seaweed. Carl almost caught a giant squid a few times.
During our time at Canal rocks, we spotted a mother seal with 2 of her cubs basking in the sun. Can you spot the seals??!!
Before leaving, we captured a few more beautiful sights of Canal rocks.
Next stop is Smiths beach. We had a short stop there to check the place out. What a morning! The boys looks a little grumpy coz they didn't catch anything decent. As for us gals we were a bit more cheerful. A few more hours of sleep makes a difference and had a great time enjoying the scenery.
YAWN!!!! Back to the Peppermint Park to have a little nap before heading back out in the afternoon.
Refreshed and ready to go!!!! Some things we did in the car while travelling to our 1st stop in the afternoon.
First stop for the afternoon is Sugar loaf rock. We couldn't fish there as the waves were too rough and the rocks look too dangerous to climb. Time to move on to the next spot!
On the way to Bunker bay, this is what we saw. A black Lamborghini Gallardo!!!! There was this event that was going on called "Bull run"..... some sort of charity event.
Finally we arrived at Bunker Bay. Off we go to find a nice fishing spot.
We heard from regular people who go and fish there that it's a great spot. Hhhhmmmm.....we don't think so....... too rocky! We kept getting snagged. Maybe we weren't in the right area. Oh well....... next destination!
Last place we're going to try for day 2 is Bunker Bay beach. I tried out my fishing hands too!
We were all screaming with excitment when we saw his rod bending like crazy. We knew he caught something. WOW!!!! It's a pretty big salmon hey! And he caught a decent size herring too.
My bubs ALMOST caught a salmon but last minute it went off the hook. You should see how upset and frustrated he was. My poor bubby!!!! Well he did catch a herring too...... but it didn't satisfy him. He want to catch a BIG salmon.
Carl is so proud and happy with his catch of the day!
This is day 3 of our trip down south..... last day before we head back to Perth. The boys went fishing at 5am in the morning in the pouring rain. How dedicated are they hey!!!! Jessy and I just wanted to sleep in. Good luck to the guys!
After we checked out of Peppermint park, we went to do some sightseeing. The 1st place is the venison farm. They have interesting variety of food products. Check out the website if you're interested. (http://www.deermark.com/) I bought their honey which contains deer antler extract. Apparently really good for your health..... not sure specifically what though.
Feroy winery is the next on our list. The rain was still pouring..... not very nice weather!
Evans & Tate is a more established winery. Looks impressive hey!
Driftwood winery..... a very cosy place. They've got a nice gallery at the top floor too. Think it's home time for us now. The boys are buggered from thier morning fishing. I was just annoyed with the rain. Final picture taken for the trip! *SMILES*
