We have been told all along our trip that Esperance would be absolutely spectacular! We arrived in Esperance and thought that maybe we arrived in the wrong spot! Esperance is a port town that looks to be absolutely exploding with growth. We got lost in a massive construction zone that is appears to building an overpass directly to the port. We got our bearings and found a great park to stay in for a couple of nights and do a load a wash. We were so lucky to meet two other wonderful families of which one of the girls was also celebrating birthday. They invited us to their little party that was such a treat after so many weeks on the road. We had birthday cake, tea cups (marshmallow cookies), chips and crackers.
The next day we went 4wd along the beach 22km to Cape Le Grand. Cape Le Grand is a pretty special spot with only a quiet little camp spot. There are only about 12 sites here and no amenities other then a toilet block. It is very quiet. We were lucky enough to arrive when someone had just left so we took the spot and drove back to Esperance packed up and moved to Cape Le Grand.
This was absolutely beautiful, quiet and free from the world. George got us up early a few mornings so Bill did some beach photoshoots!
At this camp site we met another family who were surfers and they were so wonderful to teach our kids how to surf. The kids spent the whole day in the surf...coming home to falling asleep in their dinner. Only a few short games of crazy eights made it these days!
George has become little bush and beach boy. He absolutely loves the beach and just crawls like a mad boy along the beach. He sees water and demands to be put down so he can get to it! We've created a monster!
