Of the places we visited special mention should go to the Bush Shack Brewery who made us feel really welcome and provided some much needed liquid refreshment.  Their web site is  http://www.bushshackbrewery.com.au/ 

There was even a new dance arose out of the weekend and the inaugural performance of “Annie Lysle” occurred at Bush Shack.  The new dance was initiated by Terry Sweet and the dance was completed following some creative input from some of the other Perth Morris Men.  It is in the “Dunsborough” tradition.

On the Sunday a small but apprecaitive audience gathered when we did some busking in Dunsborough
