The chooks of Loaring Place B&B





This is a small clip showing off our chooks. In Australia, chickens and hens are called chooks. Our chooks are mostly ISA Browns and 4 white chooks plus Rodney the Rooster. They give us 8-10 eggs a day that we use for our breakfasts. They get fed vege layer crumbles, wheat and of course scraps.The young chickens are Araucana chickens from Peru that lay blue eggs. We are looking after them for our daughter who will pick them up when they come across over Easter.

Video of our Alfresco Area

This is a short video of our alfresco area where in summer we set up the tables for guests to have their breakfast. It is also a lovely area in the afternoon to enjoy a glass of wine and take in the peace and tranquility of the forest.

Sunset at the Mouth of the Margaret River

Bella enjoying the sunset at the mouth of the Margaret River. The river only flows into the ocean after heavy rain. Otherwise, the waves build up a sand bar that blocks the river. The water in the river banks up and you can canoe up the river about 3 km.






There was a strong surf but as the sun was about to set the beach had been abandoned.
