Mandurah 4th September 2010
After a leisurely morning we headed out to Abingdon Miniature Village which is a display of historic buildings of the UK plus beautiful manicured gardens. On our way back we went for a drive around the foreshore and ended up at Murphy's Irish Pub where we had lunch. Reminded us of being in Paris!! We are all having a restful afternoon.

Fremantle ~ Mandurah 3rd September 2010
On our way south of Perth to Mandurah we called in to the Fremantle Markets, we had a lovely time here making some purchases, even Graham!!!!! We walked around the main mall area on our way to the boat harbour where we had lunch at Cicerello's Landing (The Original & Still the Best), it is a vibrant busy area with an air of excitement about it. As we walked back to the car I was snapping away with the camera as I usually do. It was a nice drive down to Mandurah, our unit at the 'Silver Sands Resort' is really nice.

Perth Hills 2nd September 2010
Today after Graham organized hiring a car we headed off out to Parkerville which is east of the city to visit Graham's sister Helen & partner Peter. We spent a lovely few hours with them and were very well looked after with Helen's delicious cooking ~ zucchini slice, quiche, to die for baked cheese cake, needless to say we do not need any dinner tonight. A little organizing once back at the unit for our departure tomorrow and of course the necessary glass+ of wine & must not forget the XXXX. Oh I forgot the fresh baked scones & fruit cake!!!!

Swan Valley ~ The Pink Bus Wine Tour ~ 1st September 2010
We headed off this morning down to the pier to catch the ferry up the Swan River to Water's Edge Winery, it was very pretty along the way and very relaxing with a bit of help from wine sampling and cheese & biscuits. There we met 'the pink bus tour' for a day of wine tasting, coffee tasting, lavendar scones & lavendar tea which was delicious, gourmet lunch with more wine, a visit to an aboriginal art shop with a demonstration of a didgeridoo being played, german beer tasting then last but not least 'the chocolate factory'. Pure indulgence and even better arrived back at the unit feeling very relaxed & satisfied with our day. Heather & I are very pleased we have posted a carton of mixed wines home, so much fun!!! No german beer for Graham!!!
