South-West Australia/Mandurah and Busselton










We had a great final two weeks in South-west Australia! We stayed one week at the Silver Sands resort in Mandurah and then the next week at the Amalfi Resort in Busselton. Both locations were great and we had lots of fun swimming in the pools and playing tennis. The beaches of South-western Australia are spectacular and we had a great afternoon at Preston Beach south of Mandurah. We have really enjoyed listening to the unmistakable call of the kookaburra. The kookaburra is a kingfisher and is native to Australia. It has a very joyful, laughter-like call. We enjoyed several drives south of Busselton in the Margaret River area and again, explored fabulous beaches. We visited one of the most beautiful beaches yesterday, Yallingup, and it was a perfect way to culminate the many spectacular visits to the many beaches we have explored in New Zealand and Australia. It was so beautiful. As we were driving around this area late afternoon we travelled through an area where we saw many wild kangaroos roaming in the western Australian fields! A great way to end our trip!
