Vineyard 28 — Attraction in Yarloop

So you've had a lovely weekend down south, but alas, reality sets in and you begrudgingly you pack up the car. Set the GPS and see that lovely (read boring, traffic filled, frustrating) stretch from Bunbury to Mandurah pop up and already you're longing for wineries and a place to stop and reward yourself for the hour you've already spent behind the wheel.
