Busselton to Chapman Pool

Day 58 - Busselton to Chapman Pool

Busselton, Dunsborough, Cape Naturaliste, Yallingup, Cape Naturaliste Vineyard, Chapman Pool

Sunday, 17 March 2013
Up early at 6.15am and drove to Busselton Jetty. Took Tuka for a walk around the foreshore park. Talked to a council worker about dogs and travelling. Back to van and Tuka and I had breakfast. Left Tuka in the van as I did the 1.8km walk to the end of the jetty and back again. Plenty of people fishing at various spots along the jetty. There is an underwater observatory at the end of the jetty but it was closed (7.30am). As it costs $29 to enter it I'm glad it was closed.

Drove out to Dunsborough where we parked next a pretty foreshoe park. Tuka had a swim in Geographe Bay and then we had morning tea and I talked to Anne. Next we went to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse. Tuka stayed in the van and I went on a guided tour of the lighthouse. Walked up the spiral staircase to the top of the 19m high lighthouse. Lighthouse is only 19m high because the Cape is so high. Left the lighthouse and went to Bunker Bay where there supposed to be plenty of White Pointers because of the nearby seal colony. Then onto Sugarloaf Rock, one of the most photographed rocks in WA.

Watched the surfing at Yallingup (surfer boards and paddle boards) and took Tuka for a walk. Drove ten kilometres to the isolated Yallingup Bakery where I purchased wood-fired bread via an honesty box. As it is Sunday, the bakery is closed so the wrapped bread is left on a bench with info about the types of bread and the prices. The wheatbread is made from biodynamic stonemilled wheat flour, rainwater, salt & yeast. The fruit loaf is made from biodynamic stonemilled wheat flour, organic apricots and sultanas, rye flour, rainwater, salt, honey, yeast & spice.

I had seen an advert for winery that welcomed dogs so I decided to visit today. Cape Naturaliste Vineyard is located in a small picturesque valley near Yallingup. Tuka and I were greeted in the cellar door by the owner and her two dogs, Max and Monty. Tuka roamed around getting to know the dogs while I sampled some of the white wines and talked to the owner about the wines and the dogs.
