Balingup is the first town / village north of Bridgetown on the South West Highway, about 25km closer to Perth and Bunbury. The town is known (imho) for two things , the best provincial French restaurant in WA Fre-Jac and the Balingup Medieval Carnivale held on the fourth weekend of August each year.
This year, I managed to attend the carnivale but was unable to secure a restaurant booking and had to be content with some Yahava coffee and a duck pie from the Fre-Jac coffee shop.
A few pics from my day at the carnivale ….
