Esperance WA

One of the many stunning beaches around Esperance...in WA's south east.
The view over Lucky Bay from our campsite. 
More of Lucky Bay.

What a start to our WA adventure......simply stunning Esperance. White sandy beaches, turquoise water, friendly people and plenty of sunshine. I could live here! We had a couple of days in and around town before doing the beach drive out to Cape Le Grand NP. We camped 2 nights at Lucky Bay and had a swim! Hmmmmm...fresh! Experienced our first traveller's 'happy hour' which was a bit of fun....especially as J was drinking ginger beer and I had water:) From Esperance we have been north to Kalgoorlie, east to Wave Rock and south to Albany. Had a lovely 2 night house stay with friends in Albany. I met Shelley when I was 5! And have seen her only once since then. We've been great pen pals over the years and it was terrific to catch up with her and husband Grant and now, 3 children. And it was so nice to be inside on these cold nights. We are headed further west now towards big forests, more coastlines and the Manjimup 15000 on the weekend. Google it:)
