    Esperance Stonehenge

    November 5, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Started the day with a lovely run along the town esplanade passed the whale tail with little windows of stain glass along its edge.Then we had a visit to the towns Visitor Centre, they had plenty of great brochures with places to visit so took a few to explore.
    Walked past a small lake covered in water lillies, just beautiful also went past a few big wall murals painted on sides of buildings done by some very talented artists.
    We decided on a short drive out to Esperance Stonehenge, a full size replica of the original "Stonehenge" in the UK as it would have looked around 1950BC, but made out of pink granite instead of sandstone. So this will not deteriorate like the original has.
    What an amazing site and to know each stone weighs between 35-50 tonne and they are just stood in place, not secured in anyway.
    After lunch we went to West Beach, again another stunning beach. Had another more successful go with the drone which was good to know we can improve!
