Day 7 Esperance

A lot of driving today to get to our goal destination of Esperance.
Along the way we stopped at a Skylab museum where we learnt about the American research satellite, (Skylab), that fell out of orbit and crashed to earth in the 1970s. Space debris was scattered throughout Western Australia.
The next stop was a town called Norseman which was named after a horse that had discovered the first gold in the area by picking up a nugget in his hoof.
When we arrived at Esperance we couldn't get a spot in a caravan park because of the Easter school holidays, so we ended up in the showgrounds where we booked for four nights.Læs mere
