Sun, 5th Mar, 2017 Gibson Soak Hotel RV Stop, Gibson, 30km nth of Esperance, WA


Overcast again, 25 degrees. Back into Esperance Esplanade to watch the V8s again.

Great racing, Shane van Gisbergen got both qualifying and pole positions in the Top 10 both days and then won both races.

Rang Wendy and had a wonderful chat with her and Sarah. She has a job with the Catholic Diocese doing media etc so she is very happy.

The sky has cleared but the breeze has been cool all day so it was very pleasant. Wandered the other direction today towards the port. Rang Mum and Dad while we walked – all good there. Becky still waiting to have her second child.

The clock chimed – I had heard it earlier and thought it was a church one. Not sure why it is here near the port but it is very ornate. I thought I took a photo of the plaque but it’s gone. Steve remembers reading it and said the mechanism was made and the bells were cast in Esperance and was donated by a few families.



Mum – here are the roses I said smelt so lovely.

Walked back to the water to Donald’s Park. Nice paved area with a variety of plants in sections in front of the Tea Rooms.

On pier posts was information about Don and the tug boat service he ran and the various jetties and the port.




Other pier posts were carved.

Walked out to the point which had a cute lighthouse thing.

View across to the port and over Taylors Beach.

The channel. A tug boat is heading out to bring in another big ship.


Back to the free camp again. Still a few vans here.
