Wednesday the 25th of March 2020 – Esperance, Western Australia

Posted on by bebraveontour

Firstly, we’ve had internet issues again, thanks to Telstra working on the network, so I’m a bit behind in my posts, which I will catch up now.

On Wednesday we took the opportunity to visit Cape Le Grand National Park and we are so glad we did, as you can see from the photos below it was an eye opener and we enjoyed it immensely. The park is only 40 k’s out of Esperance but it does feel like you are in another completely isolated area. The whitest sand I have ever seen on a beach is at all the beaches in the park. I have so many photos, I only wish I could post them all. I hope you all enjoy them.

Also Esperance has a replica of Stonehenge. Fortunately for us it was closed but I snuck a photo from the bushes on the side fence for posterity. It’s apparently an exact replica in size and has been constructed to much the winter and summer solstice here. Much to Susan’s disgust, I still think its a load of crap (not my golf reports), just a pile of giant stones in a circle.

Lucky Bay, look at the water and the sand!
Susan and I at Lucky Bay.
Thistle Cove.
Susan at Whistling Rocks, Thistle Cove. The whole area was covered in rocks of various sizes and then on the other side you had the beach. This was very memorable and we really felt like “Grey Nomads”, seeing such unique parts of our great country for the first time.
Frenchman’s Peak. Whilst its difficult to see at this angle the top look’s like a beret and seeing the original explorer was a Frenchmen, the name became Frenchmen’s Peak.
Me at Hellfire Bay. There were 3 unique beaches in the park we visited and this is probably my favourite, and that’s saying something over Lucky bay and Thistle Cove.
Hellfire Bay, simply beautiful!
Esperance’s version of Stonehenge! Just like Stonehenge is the UK, its costs you a motza to see a pile of large rocks in a paddock.

    Why is it sooo beautiful? Is it the lack of ocean pollution, populations or the Indian Ocean itself?
    The colours, wave contours!
    So memorable for you both.

      Thanks mate, it looks like we’ll be here in Esperance for quite awhile. As l said in my posts, there are worse places to be. You guys look after yourselves as well. We hope to get back over to the UK in a couple of years time, we have enough frequent flyers it will all depend whether QANTAS still honour them when this is all over! Cheers
