A tour of the local beaches was a wonderful way to spend our last day in Margaret River. Even if you’re not a wine fan, this is still an absolutely amazing area that embraces everything that symbolises the Australian culture and way of life.

Leaving you’re normal environment forces you out of your normal routine, which is made up of automated habits.
