Cape Le Grand





After the lovely sunny day we had yesterday we were greeted with real south coast weather this morning. We went ahead with our drive out to Cape Le Grand national park, but we didn't have any lovely walks along the beach or time spent sitting on a headland watching whales cruise by. Instead we saw a grey landscape, mainly through the car window. Many of my photos were spoilt by the rain drops on the lens...


Roger was pretty keen to inspect this tractor on the beach at Lucky Bay. It was the tractor used to tow a fishing boat. But he thought it needed a new gasket on the tappet cover... look at the leaking oil!

Holiday for Roger's Birthday





Roger and I are in Esperance, staying at the Island View Apartments opposite the beach.


The south coast in the middle of winter was a risky holiday destination but we had a lovely day yesterday. We had a drive to the beaches to the west of Esperance yesterday, and then looped around past Pink Lake (not pink at this time of year). It was interesting to see the rural housing estates springing up around the place.
