Peaceful Bay {Holiday}


Bet you think that I am loopy having 'Holiday' in the title but that is exactly what this last week was!  A fabulous holiday with wonderful friends.  Too little sleep, too much food and way too much to drink {well and probably too much sun on one of the days too}.

We stayed at Peaceful Bay Caravan Park, the only one in town, made the choice easy.  Not somewhere I would stay given a choice given it's facilities {or lack there of as the case may be} but the location was perfect.  Was an easy walk to visit our friends and an even easier walk to the beach.

We had a duck pond right near our camp


We even got a visit from a frog {he took residence overnight}

Enjoying a ride around the caravan park

A walk around the 'town'

After a drive to Walpole we stopped at the Giant Tingle Tree to take a look






A trip to the park in Denmark with friends

Even better was the trip to the Chocolate Factory
Of course a picture of the shoes purchased in Denmark


 The Toffee Factory provided us with a laugh on the way into their carpark

A funny bus ride into Denmark for the Wedding


And this is why it is called Peaceful Bay






Our final day meant lunch at a Brewery/Winery in Denmark with the Newly Weds

The week consisted off catching up with friends, a purchase of new shoes {Denmark}, visit to the Chocolate & also Toffee factory{Denmark}, a trip to the Bird Park {Denmark}, drive to Walpole, seeing amazingly large trees {Walpole}, Tree Top Walk {Walpole}, a winery visit {Denmark}, a trip to the beach {Peaceful Bay} and most importantly a wedding {Denmark}.

The Farm - Manjimup {Work}

Here we are at Jim's farm in Manjimup.

We had meet Jim {several times actually} when at Winning Station, he is their neighbor from Mia Mia.  After a phone call here we are for Justin to do some work for them.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to set up the camper, a better place to explore, a better place to do a  little school work & a better place for me to get creative and do some sewing. The kids have had a fabulous time watching working with cattle {and seeing some very new calves}, cutting seed potatoes, playing with other children, seeing sheep with their lambs and getting to know our hosts.












We have now packed up & are heading further south to Peaceful Bay for a wonderful wedding {and a catch up with lots of our friends}

Manjimup {Caravan Park}


With a spare night before we needed to arrive at the farm, we decided to stay a night at the Manjimup Caravan Park.  Right in town and a very lovely looking caravan park too.

We had a walk to the park, around town and to the tourist centre.

 

Before we left 'town' the following day we also took a look at the Timber Park, which the kids loved and we have said we will get back to {but as yet that hasn't happened}











Onto the farm we go....
