What a great time we have had. A couple of days is Esperance - stock with fruit and veges. Go out to dinner with Lee and John and had a fabulous seafood platter - a great night.
We left Esperance to go out to Cape Le Grande - but no camping spots left and a very weedy beach and a very cloudy windy day we went to Lucky Bay. We got there in enough time to set up and have the cuppa before the wind picked up and the storm hit. We hibernated in our vans till the next day - showers of rain that was so heavy - wind and thunder and lightning a real storm. Cuddles, a nap and a good book. Another day at Lucky bay - was still windy but comfortable. Adventure the next day we went out to Cape Arid, Thomas river and what a treat we saw whales from the carpark swimming away - so off to the next carpark and a walk on the rocks where we sat for 2 hours watching the mother and calf and what a treat - they swam up and down the bay a lot of the time they would have been only 30 m away from us - great for the soul.
That trip we also saw a baby seal, oyster pickers. On the way back we stopped for a beer and cuppa at the local tavern, before returning to our camp site.....oops did I mention somewhere left their handbag on the chair in the tav so it was a trip back to collect and it was still hanging on the chair.....did I memtion how patient John was...we wont talk about losing keys will we John!! We returned to lucky bay - had daily visits from Mother Kangaroo and joey, who was allowed out for a hop. Saw a snake that was escorted away by the ranger and plenty of onlookers. It was amazing how dosile the snake was for a black one! but they told us it was a dugite
