Here we’ll have a coffee on the waterfront and chat about what exciting things are to come.

Next we’ll head to Margaret River to enjoy a leisurely canoe along the pristine and calm Margaret River.  We’ll have some lunch then it’s time tantalise those tastebuds as we spend the afternoon tasting some of the world best wine and produce at a chocolate factory, cheese factory and of course some wineries and boutique breweries.
