• Day 54 - Esperance

    June 23, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

    Didn't feel motivated to move today, rainy, windy and cold - then I looked at the time - 9am. Time to get out and explore, the sun eventually put in an appearance.

    Drove to Lucky Bay Brewery which was 5 mins away so I knew it wasn't in Lucky Bay, planning on going there for dinner tonight, Woodfired pizza for me and Roast of the Day for Wayne.

    Approx. 50km out to Lucky Bay Beach, the colours of the water had to be seen to be believed. Wind was freezing but so beautiful, then onto Rossiter Bay, Hellfire Bay, Thistle Bay (Whistling Rock) and finally to Cape Le Grande Beach. Was high tide so no driving on any of the beaches.

    Absolute favourite was Lucky Bay, it was the most protected from the wind so looked the best. The Camp grounds at Cape Le Grande were closed, probably for the winter, had 14 nice sites, hot showers etc. If we were going to stay anywhere it would be Lucky Bay though.

    Drove past Frenchman's Peak which looked amazing, I ummed and rrrd about climbing it but decided I would enjoy it from Sandy's photo's instead of destroying my ankle.

    Back to the Van, named and backed up all my Go Pro videos onto the hard drive.
