Margaret River
My second day in Margaret River was taken up by another Bush Tucker tour, this time down the river itself. Lynne and I were in a canoe with another couple who also did the wine tour yesterday. We met at the beach where the river breaks out in the winter, and then we rowed upstream for a bit, stopping to be lectured on flora and fauna by the guide. It was surprisingly hard to steer- at least compared to kayaking, which I have done before. We also stopped at a cave on the way back, but it was just a very small cave in the limestone cliff overlooking the river, no guides or electric lighting installed like the other caves I visited. We had the option to crawl through part of the cave, which was mostly on hands and knees and partly completely flat out on your stomach. Somehow other people managed to make it out just dusty, but I emerged with cut up knees and elbows. Ouch.
We got back to the hostel around 3:30, but it felt more like 6:00. I took advantage of the shops being still open and went gift shopping. Some of you now have presents to look forward to! Tomorrow I leave at 7:15 for Albany, the next overnight stop on the tour. You'll hear from me when I get there!
Love,
Emma

Albany? If I leave work early I can meet you there for dinner.
hi emma! so exciting to read about all your adventures! Definitely wait until you get to eastern australia to make up your mind- it's VERY exciting and there are so many amazing people. I think you're going to love it. Also, kangaroo is actually quite yummy (as horrible as that might sound...) you should try it if you are feeling brave! Take care of yourself!!! xoxo
