Afternoon drive though the Park…
Four Mile Beach Campground
Located in the Fitzgerald National Park, 11 kms from the nearest town of Hopetoun, is where we are based for 3 nights… peaceful and isolated. There are 2 beaches in close walking proximity – Four Mile and Barrens Beach
Barrens Beach
Crystal clear water for our 1st W.A. swim!

Bird life in the “park”

Night sky
A little cloudy, so not the best night for photography

Cape le Grand
Within 45 minutes drive of Esperance, this grand park features sweeping heathlands, rugged coastal peaks and white sandy beaches voted the best in Australia including Thistle Cove and Lucky Bay…

Instead of driving by road back to Esperance we took the “beach route“. The sand was reasonably firm so we decided not to reduce tyre pressure. Just before high tide there were a couple of difficult sections but none that stopped our 22km journey.

Wiley Bay (Esperance)
Living the dream… on a remote W.A. beach, 4WDing, white sand, crystal clear blue water, relaxing 😎, picnic lunch. Unfortunately the water temp (17°?) + a cool southerly breeze made the prospect of a swim less than inviting.



Baxter Rest Area
This overnight free camp area on the Nullarbor has space for many travellers. We are set up a comfortable distance (truck noise minimal) from the highway. This morning’s sunrise.
