Swan Valley

Western Australia is ENORMOUS!
After entering WA on 30 August, we are on Perth's outskirts. 

We're in the Swan Velley, the wine and food region on the outskirts of Perth. For our Sydney friends, think Hunter Valley located at Hornsby.

Wine, breweries, chocolate, providores, 2nd hand shops... it's all here.

It's hot; mid to high 30s to low 40s as a heat wave is declared for this part of Australia. 
We're in a caravan park with a pool, power and the air con running.

As well as swimming in the pool and reading and sitting in the shade, we did a few of the historic walks and drives around the area. 

It's windy of an afternoon and evening, so we brought the awning in once the sun went behind the trees each afternoon. 

We drove up to Yanchep for a looksee and lunch.
Urban sprawl in Perth is vast. It's certainly a growing city. 

Love the way this pub in Caversham has been restored.

Chocolate and wine. Always a good combo.

Breakfast.

Next stop, Perth.
