Margaret River - Margaret you are so beautiful !!!!!!!!!!

Pulled into our home for next 3 nights called Taunton Farm Holiday Park while we explore all this beautiful region had to offer. Tuanton farm is a great place to stay with kids, there is heaps of room for them to run around, good playground and jumping pillow and they are able to feed the farm animals (pets) every evening which our city kids loved.

The town of Margaret River is a very busy town with heaps of different shops and restaurants, it reminds a little of Byron Bay. As well as having on of the best surfing beaches in Australia.

Just south of Margaret river are some great caves to explore. We had a look through the self guided Mammoth Cave, the girls really enjoyed the headsets they got to wear which explained the history and how the formations came to be in the cave.

Driving around we noticed a lot of multi-coloured cows - Margaret River was playing host to the "Cow Parade".  These cows are on display around Margaret River, later they are auctioned off with any money raised going to charity.

Today we spent some time around the vineyards and the little boutique shops.  We found another Chocolate Factory and this time we tried the Chocolate Fondue which comes with different fruit, marshmallows and nougat that you dip in the chocolate.

How fantastic but we all felt a bit sick with the hot chocolate to finish.
