A fantastic day was spent today enjoying the company of the wild bottle nose dolphins in Rockingham Bay. Rockingham is 45 minutes South of Perth and home to lots of pods of dolphins. The dolphins choose Rockingham to raise their babies because it is sheltered and shallow - i.e sharks don't go there! The experience was fantastic! Not only did we get to swim alongside the creatures but we heard their whistles and felt the buzz of their sonar communication under the...

We have just seen everything that I love about Australia. In a 50km radius this weekend we saw desert, wild flowers in the Lesueur National Park, fantastic waves crashing at Point Louise and swam with wild sea lions.

I had a great afternoon on a tour with cellar door manager Duncan and filming my blog for this week. There are vines on the Sandalford estate that were planted i...
