We were all excited to be back on the road, with only a few sore bits. We avoided Walpole (didn't want to see all those Karri trees again) and headed towards Pemberton and then on to Margaret River. We stopped for a night at Fonti's Pool near Mujimba, where Italian-immigrant Mr Fonti's had created a beautiful dammed pool surrounded by lush gardens. It really wasn't swimming weather, but the girls couldn't resist having a swim, and doing some jumping from the diving board. We only spent one night there.
On our way to Margaret River, we stopped in Pemberton to have a look around. We found a marron (yabbi) and trout farm, where the farmer was happy to show us around and tell us all about the creatures. He supplied marron to restaurants all around the country, and sold specimens ranging from100g to 400g. There were lots of trout there, but were to small to sell (we would have bought one for dinner). Photos below.
Leaving Pemberton, we headed North to Margaret River, where we planned to spend the next few days camping at Happy Valley farm.
