It was good that I had seen the super pit but I was glad to get out of Kalgoorlie. I hit the highway after breakfast back to Norseman, 188 kilometres. I stopped off back in Norseman to get some fuel and also to get on the internet as I didn’t think there would be a signal tonight, as it turns out I was right. As I drove back out of Norseman I hit the sign for the Eyre Highway and Adelaide which will take me across the Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. W...

Norseman is right where the Eyre Highway starts. This is the highway across the Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. Before I hit the Eyre Highway though I wanted to make a detour 188 kilometres north to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to have a look at the Super Pit. Before that though I went to have a look at the Beacon Lookout at Norseman. This is a hill on the edge of the town that gives a great view and there are a load of interesting boards prov...

It was brilliant at Lucky Bay. I woke up and had breakfast to a wonderful view. I left the camp ground at about 9 and just drove a short way to Le Grand Beach to catch up with the blogs and to have my last look at the Southern Ocean for a few days.

After leaving the ocean I headed back to Esper...

It was a lot cooler this morning and perfect for walking. It was about a 60 kilometre drive to Cape Le Grand National Park. I went to climb Frenchman Peak first. It was a 3 kilometre walk and scramble to the top. It is a massive granite outcrop that you can see for miles (or should I say kilometres) around. The walk starts on a footpath and then you get to a sign which instructs you to follow the markers to the top. It is then a scramble and climb up the rock to ...

It was supposed to be a hot one today. The forecast was for over 30 degrees. The signs on the way into Esperance had informed me that their beaches had been voted Australia’s best. This was the perfect day to find out. There are a quite a lot of beaches near Esperence so I thought I’d try a few of them. First of all I stopped at the Rotary Lookout on the edge of town from where there was a 360 degrees view. Esperance is in a beautiful location with lo...
