Exploring Esperance

Well Trevor, you were right. 😁. This town and surrounding area is beautiful!!  The foreshore is so picturesque and reminds us of the Queensland towns of Cairns and Townsville and we are impressed with the cleanliness and quality of facilities.

       This probably doesnt show the foreshore at its best as they were mowing the lawns.

Our day was started with us falling about in the car laughing when Dennis manouvered his way out of the Woolies car park by going through the very tight Red Rooster drive through!! Luckily they weren't open as we hadn't put in an order - as it was the workers were giving us very strange looks! Later on we had a similar experience through a bottle shop 😳. We can always rely on Dennis to lighten our day and provide entertainment!! Dennis is also our wood collector and we've been fortunate as we've been able to cut wood from the woodpile down the back - and use the owners wheelbarrow! Dennis has been able to get his chainsaw to go - but is on the hunt for a new one!

    

     


We explored Cape Le Grand National Park and wow, on such a lovely sunny day, the white sandy beaches and blue waters were stunning. 

    

    
    

We were at this campground a few years ago and can't believe the improvements that have been made! They have enlarged the camping area, built new camp kitchen, picnic shelters, bbqs, picnic tables .... and everything was so clean - they have volunteers who probably help maintain a high standard. This is the the picnic area at Hellfire Bay - another beautiful picnic spot.

We toured along the scenic road around the town and enjoyed the views from various lookouts.

     
So a little reluctantly we are leaving this lovely spot and moving inland heading to Wave Rock. We've enjoyed perfect weather so far and are very lucky to be still wearing shorts during the day. We have been on the road for 4 weeks tomorrow and have seen so many wonderful sights. We hope everyone is well and say goodbye till the next blog. Love from the travellers ❌❌❌❌❌
