After brekky we went to explore the Orleans Bay area. We drove the short distance to Little Wharton Beach. It was a gorgeous windswept little bay full of dramatic and rugged natural beauty. There were rocky outcrops, white sand and crashing waves forming in the crystal clear turquoise waters that were pounding the rocks. We had the place completely to ourselves which was brilliant and we scrambled over the rocks and walked on the crunchy snow like sand as we made...

We got up fairly late and had one of our leisurely three course breakfasts. Most caravan parks have a 10am checkout but this one incredibly was 1pm so there was absolutely no hurry. We ended up leaving around half eleven though and hit the road out of Esperance heading east to Duke of Orleans Bay. It was a journey of about 80 kilometres . The road was very quiet and we passed through some very green farming land and past quite a few sheep. After about 60k we turn...

We got up late and had a very leisurely breakfast. We had decided to have a chill day as the forecast was for rain. After brekky we went into Woolies in the town centre to stock up on food. We bought some Macadamia nuts which are utterly delicious. They are extremely good for you and they have a taste very similar to white chocolate mice. Absolutely yum yum they were. To us it was like eating sweets as we don't consume sugar anymore. On our way back to the carava...

After a very leisurely breakfast we set off to see the beaches and stunning coastline near Esperance. The weather was gorgeous. It was about 18 degrees with a clear blue sky. We went to the Rotary lookout on the edge of the town first and Jay got her first taste of how spectacular this area is. From the lookout we could see the beautiful islands off the coast, Esperance town and the stunning bays and beaches with turquoise waters and lovely white sand. Whilst her...

After brekky we hit the highway in the direction of Esperance, a place I was last at back in November. It was a journey of just under 400 kilometres and probably the last really long drive that we will do in Australia. The road away from Wave Rock was very quiet and it took us through farming country. The road headed south until we reached Highway 1 just outside Ravensthorpe. From here I was back on familiar territory. We had lunch at a rest stop and followed Hig...
