WA-Esperance

After our crossing of the Nullarbor and our visit to Kalgoorlie we headed south to Esperance, a beautiful coastal town. We have decided that the coast line of Western Australia just keeps better around every corner.
The squeaky white, fine sand beaches bordered by brilliant blue pristine bays just take your breath away. Mike and I keep saying to each other that we cannot get over the clearness and the colour of the water. Every bay is truly post card scenery. There are over 100 island in the coastal archipelago and this area is also known as The Bay of Isles. There are long beautiful beaches that you can four wheel drive on, great bike and walking tracks around town and along the foreshore, as well as many fishing spots.
At the Tanker jetty in the bay the local seal, Sammy, swims and lazes around the pylons waiting for the fishermen to discard the leftovers from filleting their fish. You can sit and watch him for hours he is such a character. When he’s had his fill, he lies on the beach and has a nap oblivious to all the on- lookers and doesn’t stir until it is feed time again.

The Cape le Grand National Park is close by and offers two good camp areas on the beach as well as more incredible scenery.
We stayed at Esperance for a week and loved every minute of it.
Visiting this area is a must. The scenery is magnificent.
