Tues, 14th Mar, 2017 Lucky Bay Campground, Cape Le Grand National Park to roadside gravel pit, 20km west of Esperance, WA


Nice morning, few clouds coming over. Forecast for high winds from Albany across to Israelite Bay today – glad we had a nice day yesterday.

Rang Sandra for her birthday which she is enjoying.

Headed back to Esperance. Back along the other road this time. Passed Stonehenge – a full sized replica of the original in the UK – a new tourist attraction but I think I would rather pay money to see the real one – Jon has.

Passed through Mullet Lake Nature Reserve – large wetland area.

Too many vans at the water and dump point. Drove to the Esplanade and stopped for a cuppa. Chatted with another chap then I wandered around checking out some more information plaques.










This area is a memorial to those who have lost their lives off the Esperance coast.




Headed into town and topped up with fuel and exchanged a gas bottle then around to Woolies to top up the food. Greg was there and then Sarah and Leigh drove by.

Had lunch while we packed everything away then drove down to the Esplanade again to the big bins to toss out all the meat packaging etc after I had rebagged the meat into our vacuum sealed bags. Passed a chap creating a sand sculpture for the Festival of the Wind which starts soon. Quite apt as the wind has certainly picked up.


Back to the dump and water point – no one there now. Then Greg arrived so hi and bye to him again. We unhooked the van on the side of the road then Steve washed the truck thoroughly in the car wash – needed to get all that salt spray off.

Hooked up again then headed out of town towards Ravensthorpe. Pulled off into a gravel pit area where we saw lots of overnight campers when we first came through. Tucked in behind the trees out of the wind. It will do us for the night.

Gave me the afternoon to catch up on the blog again and Steve got out the polish and gave the truck a rub over.

Two other vehicles pulled in for the night.
