After 3 nights at Lucky Bay we packed up and headed back into Esperance to wash the car and caravan before heading inland again. The main supermarket was closed (it's Sunday in WA) so we bought limited supplies at the small IGA and set off. The weather was bleak (18 degrees and raining) on the way to Ravensthorpe where we had lunch. We then headed north to Hyden and the trip in the car was a good chance for Fraser and me to get some school work done - on a Su...

Today we walked up Frenchmans Peak which was a rocky scramble up and back following some route markers. The view from the top was great although a goanna on the track on the way up and a swarm of bees coming down weren't very friendly! We visited some beaches (Hellfire Bay and Thistle Cove) on the way back to Lucky Bay where we enjoyed some more kayaking, boogie boarding and swimming. Dad tried a Kangachino at the beach coffee van and Fraser and I had an ice...

As soon as we had finished that we went down to the beach where Dad went for a walk around the beach and on a boardwalk. At the same time Mum, Fraser and I went for an explore over some rocks.

Dad a...

Today we drove from Kalgoorlie-Boulder to Esperance where we are staying for one night until we head of to Cape le Grand National Park. On the way here we stopped at Norseman where we also went through on the way to Kalgoorlie-Boulder. When we arrived at Esperance we went to a smaller caravan park but they were booked out so we had to go to a much bigger one which is the one we are at now. Once we had set up we went shopping for groceries and had a look around ...
