Well, whilst we are on a 'camping' trip around the country, it was always our intention to have the flexibility to stay in some resort style accommodation as we made our way around. Bad weather has probably necessitated this on more than a couple of occassion, but we had always planned to live it up a little in the beautiful Margaret River Region. Turns out it's been a good decision too - there's been some ridiculously wild weather (the News just reported 130km/hour winds) so I'm pretty stoked that we aren't in our tent!
To give you an idea of the weather, today we pulled up at the mouth of Margaret River to have a look at the ocean - the rain was horizontal and despite us have the engine stopped, the car still moving from side to side! There's always a silver lining though - we had a 'double rainbow' moment! Ace!!
Truth be told, the weather has interupted us pretty minimally. The last couple of days have been spent seeing some local sites, tasting a wine or too and munching on the local produce.
Here are some photos:

Need go without saying, there's a deer farm around here!
Jewel Cave - south of Margaret River. Absolutely stunning!
