5th August 2007

The Avon descent was on this weekend. Power boats, kayaks and canoes battle rapids and everything the rivers Avon and Swan can throw at them. See http://www.avondescent.com.au/

We were a bit late on getting off the starting blocks on Saturday so missed all the white water action and got a bit lost so missed the best of it.
Sunday was a different story. We were there with the camera crews at the finish line and saw some of the winners pull up. We didn't stay to see the stragglers or the presentations but instead went for a drive along Swan Valley, where we visited the Margaret river chocolate factory and a number of wineries. Hic, Hic! Delia discovered the wonders of dessert wine. Her sweet tooth is now stained with the sweet, Swan Valley dessert wines! Chloe fell in love with a red, open top Mustang while Delia fell in love with inflatable dump trucks. See the photos!

A good weekend had by all. Back to work/school/college tomorrow. JOY.

Burswood - We passed this place but it warrants a whole blog to itself. Watch this space. Google it if you want to find out more before I get to it.
