Even if you were unaware that Cascade is Australia’s oldest brewery, the castle-like grey building standing tall among the trees provides hints to its history. The brewery was designed by its founder, Peter Degraves while he served time in the Old Hobart Gaol. We booked online far in advance and paid AU$25 per person for […]
We left Seashells Yallingup and drove to Goanna Cafe & Gallery for breakfast. There are several areas to sit at Goanna Cafe – under colourful umbrellas at the front of the cafe; in the covered verandah area, where large tables and bench seating will suit groups; inside, probably the least tranquil option, as customers line […]
After morning tea at The Berry Farm, we drove on to Yallingup – around 40 minutes from Margaret River (approximately 3 hours drive from Perth). Arimia Estate Our next stop was a late lunch and wine tasting at Arimia Estate. It’s easy to miss the rusted metal Arimia sign set against a dry stone wall, […]
At Run Amuk Hotdogs Unleashed in South Freo, I start any hotdog feeling absolutely ravenous – but always, three-quarters of the way through, combined with shoestring fries and a tall glass of gingery lemonade, I start to slow down. That was last night’s story with the July special Chili Dawg (AU$14.50), the delicious, good-looking lovec…

The Berry Farm is one of those places best visited when you’re at least a little hungry. At the Cellar Door, over 40 gourmet products can be tasted […]
The Margaret River Farmers’ Market brings together 45-55 stalls every Saturday 8am to 12pm. The weekend we dropped by, the market was trading for the first time at its new location, the Shire building grounds on Walcliffe Road, having moved from the Community Resource Centre on Tunbridge Street. We just followed the crowd and parked [……
Yesterday I had lunch with my friend Mandy at the Goodwood Park Hotel in Singapore – the Taiwan porridge ‘a la carte buffet’ (you choose from a special menu featuring 31 items, your dishes are cooked to order and then delivered to your table) plus dessert buffet with durian desserts – a double buffet lunch […]
We ate some incredible food on our trip to the Margaret River region, but the most unusual was probably the curry chocolate truffle at Margaret River Chocolate Company. I never would’ve guessed curry and chocolate would combine so harmoniously – I’m serious. General Manager Daniel had a selection of chocolate truffles for us to ta…
