Esperance

400 k drive from Kalgoorlie to Esperance.

Trees get bigger as you go until you come out into some broad acre farming country.
Large holdings, farming in soils that look like white sand.

There have been some big fires through here recently burnt huge tracts of land.

Camped on the beach at Esperance Seafront Holiday Park, having a couple of drinks and BBQ as the sun goes down, and the moon comes up!

We were a bit disappointed in Esperance as a place to visit.
Although the caravan parks full, and a nice spot, plenty coming and going, the locals didn't seem that interested in helping tourists.
We were hoping to book a fishing charter, where I could show Butcho how fish are caught!
But after trying both companies in town neither were interested in taking us out.
Maybe we look a bit rough, or Butchos legs are still a bit white?

It wasn't because they were booked out, their excuse was there wasn't enough of us!! very disappointing.

You bastards that stayed at home should have come with us!

So we went for a stroll into town , about two Kilometres, the girls did a lot of grizzling about the distance, but a nice walk.
The council have done a good job doing up the foreshore, except for the old Jetty which is closed of, so no fishing there either!



Even looking for a coffee shop, we had trouble finding one, so had to settle for lunch at the pub!
At least that was good, at the Esperance Motor Hotel,  and a James Squire Pale ale eased the pain a bit.

But if your time strapped on a trip, don't worry about Esperance!
