Busselton, Australia
It is March 22, 2019 and Lanee and I arrived in Busselton, Australia, which is a port city of about 24,000 people. The bay is shallow at this port and the ship used four tenders to move people to ashore. The water was choppy and it was a rough ride. They have a pier that is the longest one I have seen; it is over one mile long. Lanee went on an excursion to Margret River which is known for their premium wine production. I went to Ngilgi Cave and a lighthouse. The motor coach I was on had 37 people and we had 270 steps down into the cave to reach the bottom. The light house was an uphill walk of 600 feet. When we got to the top the lighthouse, it was covered in plastic; as it was being renovated...hmmmm. To say the least, we had our workout that day.
Lanee was not impressed with any of the tastings that day, but she made new friends on the tour to Margret River and back.
The climate is warm-summer Mediterranean, with an average annual rainfall of around 44 inches. Most rain falls between May and August.
During the summer, the weather is warm, though there are usually sea breezes, and frequently sunny. The dry summers, coupled with strong winds, creates an environment where there is always a high risk of bush fires.
