A pier, a playground and gnomes....yes gnomes

We've been exploring around Busselton and Bunbury over the last couple of days.

Walking along the southern hemisphere's longest pier (1.8km) at Busselton was a highlight, although for Max, catching a little train back again was even better.

The observatory at the end of the pier is quite well done, and it's interesting to be able to descend
8 metres and see the world below.



Another highlight was WA's biggest playground at Donnybrook. It is quite huge and has some fun toys. The electronic ninja-style game got us all building up a sweat. This area is an apple and pear growing region and this is reflected in the playground.














And of course Gnomesville. It's unique and a somewhat strange. Dylan and I couldn't decide if it was cool or a bit like a junkyard. Apparently many years ago a couple of gnomes were left behind in this spot on the corner of the road and since then people have just added and added to the collection. There must be thousands of them.




 We're really enjoying WA so far.
