Wednesday 27th February
We tried to look for dolphins in the bay again but they were still being elusive.
We headed east to Donnybrook, the apple growing centre of Australia.

Everything in this town is apple related, the playground, the signs and even the street lamps.

Just outside we stopped at a fruit farm and bought a selection of apples, Pink Lady, Royal Gala, Fiji and Lady Williams. The person who sold us the apples had an English accent and we found that she came from Great Ayton, having backpacked around Australia in the 70's and stayed. The apple warehouse was about zero degrees and the fruit sorting and packaging process was very automated.

We travelled back towards the coast to our next base, Busselton, where we have rented a studio villa 100 yards from the beach.

Later in the afternoon we walked along the nearly deserted beach. The sand is white and very soft.

Just before dinner we relaxed by the pool, only to be disturbed by about a dozen ducks. We didn't fancy going into the water after that.
