Australia So Much to See
Dining at Brookwood Estate Café and Winery, Cowaramup, pictured below.
Most of these are open for lunch rather than evening meals, but after the size of the serves, you wouldn’t have room for a big evening
meal. Sweet treats for morning and afternoon teas add to the culinary delights.
Some of the best places we or others in our group dined at include:
Amelia Park Restaurant and Winery, Caves Road; with a variety
of specialities including local lamb.
Berry Farm Cottage Café and Winery, Rosa Glen; another lunch outing.
Also open for evening meals late in the week
and weekends.
Brookwood Estate Café and Winery, Cowaramup; with fine cuisine and local wines.
Café Boranup, Boranup; for home cooking, breakfasts, morning and afternoon teas and lunches. See our previous visit to the Boranup Forest,Café Boranup and the Boranup gallery.
Chocolate Factory, Margaret River; for free chocolate tasting, morning and afternoon
teas and light lunches.
Millers Ice Cream, Cowaramup; on a working dairy farm, a large variety of ice-creams, as well as scones for morning or afternoon tea, or a light lunch.
Olio Bello Café, Cowaramup; for a great lunch and olive oil products. See more from our previous visit on Margaret River.
Most of these shown above are open for lunch rather than evening meals, but after the size of the serves, you wouldn’t have room for a big evening meal. However there are many other options for evening dining in style.

In addition, you can visit a venison farm, nougat manufacturer, honey producers, cheese and yoghurt makers and many other
treats.
Cowaramup have made cows their theme, and for those who cannot pronounce Cowaramup, the town are also known as Cowtown. Accordingly,
when walking around Cowaramup, you can see many model cows. These cows, as pictured at right, are black and white to represent
the Friesian breed, the most used breed of milking cows. There are many dairy farms through the Margaret River region.
However the name Cowaramup has nothing to do with cows. It was from the Aboriginal name of the area, Place of the Cowara, the
name for the Purple-crowned Lorikeet from the area.
Cowaramup is two kilometres north of the turn-off to Gracetown
from the Bussell Highway, and has a variety of businesses catering to tourists, particularly cafes and gift shops.
