OTR: Caravaning … Day 13 👉🏻 Scaddan

Esperance to Kalgoorlie-Boulder
Distance Traveled: 250 Miles

Yes, eagle-eyed readers, I’m jumping from Day 10 on the road to Day 13. That’s because we took a few days off from driving to enjoy the lovely beaches and scenery around Esperance. Today, we left the coast behind for the interior … heading up north.

Planned as a day of driving to get us from Point A to Point B, we were on the road by 7:15a. Even with the temps dropping from 3-digits, the high at our destination was forecasted to be in the 90F range … better than the 113F they experienced yesterday!!! Still, hot is hot and we wanted to get off the road early.

The first half of the road — from Esperance to Norseman — was a retracing of the same route we followed on our way south to reach the coast on the 19th. The only “sightseeing stop” we made was in Scaddan. Specifically, at the Pioneer Park where I had spotted murals (by artists Irene Osborne and Elaine Morcombe) on the way down. Mui delivered on his promise to stop there today on the way up.Läs mer
