Perth and Margaret River wine country

In October we had an invitation to help celebrate the 40th birthday of a friend, Claude DiPrinzio. We knew Claude and Patsy from their time in Point Comfort. They’re now back home in WA (Western Australia). We planned a 10 day trip to Perth and surrounding area.

When we arrived in Perth, we stayed with Peter and Jane Bailey, also old friends from Point Comfort days. We spent 3 great days in the Margaret River Valley wineries and seeing the far southwest corner of Australia. What beautiful country! And Peter and Jane own Woody Nook winery, so we got to see things from the inside. We then returned to Perth and Fremantle. We shared a beach front condo with Dave and Sue Buick (again old friends from Point Comfort) who now live in Brisbane. The last weekend was filled with food, drink, and camaraderie with the DiPrinzios, the Buicks, the Pascoes, and Steve and Karrie Petrofes, who also flew in from Nhulunbuy. We arrived home on Monday, needing a rest.

The End
