Esperance

We arrived in Esperance and booked into the Esperance Bay Holiday Park. This park, a top tourist, is very nice however it right on the main train line into the port. As we checked in we heard the Train horns, this happened again later in the evening and two to three times a day but during the night we could only hear the engines. This said, and not mentioning a clock in the area that chimed every 15 mins, it was a quite park and we slept well.

On the first night, for Sara’s Birthday, we went out for Chinese. I have to say, that has to be some of the best food we have had in a while, full of fresh seafood and tasting great. We also had some local fish and chips before we left and that too was beyond our expectations.

We stayed 3 nights and only did one of the drives that went past many of their great beaches and views, as well as the pink lake. On the first day, as it was overcast and windy, the views were good but you could see how they could be better. The pink lake was not pink for us, rather a dull grey. Since the second day was better weather wise we revisited some of the beaches to see if we could get nicer photos. We also did a nice long walk of the main shopping district which took a few hours. it was a good change from sitting in the car.

After Esperance we are off to Fraser Range to begin our return trip over the Nullabour.
