CAPE LE GRAND NATIONAL PARK

After a week out at Cape Arid we headed back towards Esperance and Cape Le Grand National Park. The beauty of the beaches out here just continues. Maybe the photos don't show how spectacular it is but the colours of the water just amazes. We are loving it.

We managed to grab a spot at Lucky Bay and stayed for the week.

Coffee on the beach. Beautiful!!!!!!

 

  

 Camping was a bit crowded the first night. Just as well we got on with our neighbours.

Dunn Bay is below. Kim said they were the best hot dogs she has ever tasted. Could be the location had something to do with it.

Hellfire Bay

 Whistling Rock. It really does whistle.

Back at Lucky Bay. We spent a wonderful week here.

 

Back in Esperance for some washing and shopping. Next stop, Fitzgerald National Park.

CAPE ARID NATIONAL PARK

 Cape Arid National Park is about 130 klms east of Esperance on the Southern Ocean. What a fantastic place this is and what a great time we had there. It is quite isolated but worth the journey. The beaches, the beaches, just magnificent. No telephone or internet access out here.

 Dolphin Bay

This kind lady provided us with dinner. Yum!

 

We are told that the Great Southern Whales frolic here Sept, Oct. Combine that with the wildflowers that would be out here, a place to come back to.

Driving along the beach

 

 We teamed up with some friends and headed out to Israelite Bay for a couple of days. It really was isolated out there. The Ranger insisted on taking all our details and was heading in after us if we failed to show up in 48hrs. We made it. How's that for living on the edge.

Salt lake on the way

We took these photos of some old ruins and then unfortunately the camera's battery went dead. Will we ever learn.
