Margaret River trip

I’m going to Margaret River today. Unfortunately this is not a holiday trip, and M isn’t going – instead, a colleague, L, and I are going down there to meet with a number of students and academic staff and provide them with some information literacy seminars and EndNote training. These students and staff are based down there because they are studying viticulture.

We leave around lunch time. The drive should take around three hours, and we’ll be spending the night there, staying at a motel called Edge of the Forest. Tuesday we should be fresh and ready for a day’s worth of meeting and talking with people. The plan is to leave Margaret River for the drive back to Perth around 4pm-ish Tuesday, so I should be home in time for dinner with M and back at work on Wednesday.

I’ve only ever been down to Margaret River once, years ago – on the bus – and we arrived in the late evening, I had a cold, was exhausted, went straight to bed, and we left again before dawn, and I never saw any of the town or its environs. This time I should be more alert and interested and even if we don’t have any time to tour the wineries or go surfing, I hope I at least get to see what the town’s like!
