ACC Western Wallabies Hop into Binningup
- Details
- Published: 24 February 2018 24 February 2018
The coastal village of Binningup just north of Australind in Western Australia was the scene for the ACC Western Wallabies February muster.
What is the attraction of Binningup? Swimmers love its beach and clear, non-polluted water, and a reef containing a variety of sea life is popular with fishermen.
The village is close to Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, and Augusta where fabulous wineries, chocolate factories, cheese factories and great markets are available 7 days a week!
Over the course of the muster, members enjoyed a tasty dinner at the Fishing Club, challenged the trophy holders in the Corn Hole Perpetual Trophy Championship, catered for their own Tapas Night, ventured into Australind for shopping and sight-seeing, self-catered for Saturday Night Dinner under the trees with twinkling stars visible through the leaves, and to top it off, the gentlemen cooked a yummy breakfast!
For their next muster, our wallabies are hopping back in time to the 1960s and 70s with a ‘Flower Power’ theme.
Our ACC Western Wallabies branch is one of 5 ACC branches located in the Perth region of Western Australia.

Our ACC South West Wanderers Enjoy Margaret River region

Big Valley Campsite at Rosa Glen in Western Australia was the venue for our ACC South West Wanderers February 2018 muster.
While some members visited the very interesting and picturesque coastline of the Margaret River region, others chose a local tourist attraction offering very tempting morning teas, wine, oil and preserve tastings.
Big Valley Campsite is nestled amongst the hills of a family working sheep farm, only a short distance from the town of Margaret River and all the attractions the region offers. Members enjoyed listening to the sheep in the next paddock, and watching the bantam rooster and his harem freely wandering about the caravans.
