Christmas in Esperance

In Esperance we found delightful places to walk, ride and swim. We drove around the WA version of the Great Ocean Drive, avoided the wind farm (memories of flies from the last one), relaxed over Christmas, visited Cape Le Grand National Park and climbed a "mountain".

Twilight Bay was a great family swimming spot sheltered from much of the wind.

We enjoyed our Christmas lunch in the caravan with local crayfish.

A view of Frenchman Peak from Cape Le Grande Bay. I saw it and knew I had to climb it!

Well, we made it. The views from the top were amazing.

At Thistle Cove (still in Cape Le Grand NP) we enjoyed watching the water pound the rocks and afterwards walked all the way along the beach where the sand was squeaky white and the oyster catchers and gulls were taking their time feeding along the edge of the water.

Throughout Cape Le Grand NP we saw acres and acres of these beautiful trees in flower. Does anyone know what they are?

Blessings to you all from Kalgoorlie, the gold mining town of WA.
