Esperance



Esperance is a lovely coastal town in Southwest Australia and the region has some of the best beaches in the world. The tanker jetty accomodates large vessels that come in to pick up loads of wheat which grows in abundance in the neighbouring farm land. The area is surrounded by mountain peaks and is home to around 100 islands that rise above the sea bed. The town jetty is a popular spot for fishing and is also a favorite hangout for "Sammy the sealion" who spends time hanging around the beach entertaining the town folk.
Cape Le Grand National Park is located about 50kms from town and is truly spectacular.
Frenchmans Peak towers above the area which is surrounded by unique flora and large rock formations.
These photos don't really do justice to the beauty of the area but the beaches have the whitest sand
and brilliant aqua blue waters. Everywhere we look is like a post card view and it's hard to stop
taking photos. Leaving here will be hard but we are on our way to do some bush camping near the beach for a few days. And then we will keep heading west towards Perth.
Cheers for now and stay tuned for more exciting adventures of Bushy Bob & Mary-anne!
