We do a final walk along the estuary in Augusta taking in the scenery for a final time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it\u2019s all the usual packing up readying the Jayco for the road which realistically only takes 10 minutes. We say goodbye to our tugger neighbour who has been packing up since we headed off for a walk an hour or more ago. Thanks to the Indian Ocean our journey west is finished. Departing Augusta we turn north along the Caves Road tourist drive. It\u2019s another forest drive through very dry country only broken by signs to this cave or that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty kms later we have two options turn right for Margaret River or turn left for Prevelly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several pages of our guide book are dedicated to Margaret River, the region. The town of Margaret River <\/a>at its centre. There are two CP in Margaret River, checking our data base both are small and the comments less than favourable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we opt for a CP at the sea-side village of Prevelly. Surprisingly Prevelly has some international standing as the Margaret River Pro (surfing contest) is held here. The CP is far from the best we\u2019ve seen, something of a throw back to the 1970\u2019s which was probably the last time any maintenance was done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that aside we check in, before heading up to Surfers Point to check out who\u2019s in the pocket. Couldn\u2019t catch a glimpse of Nat, Midget or Gidget but this is a beautiful place..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
