It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Im gunna be there. Ive stayed at the Esp before and its a great spot. Little Creatures brewery is across the park and worth a long lunch.
A trip down south to Margaret River to check out the national park of course is also necessary, maybe try some wine as well.
