Esperance

Lucky Bay

Over 500km today to get to our next destination which is Cape le Grand National Park. It has been consistently windy traveling all down the west coast but today we copped the worst head wind of the trip - a 30-40 knot easterly pounded us all the way. We stopped and made some lunch at Ravensthorpe and the kids had a run around in the park. We arrived in Esperance just after 4 and called past the visitors centre before heading straight out to Cape le Grand. We went straight to Lucky Bay campground which seemed quite busy so we headed over to Le Grand Beach campground which had a 'Campground Full' sign - back to Lucky Bay. It was quite late by this stage and we weren't keen to drive all the way back into town so we thankfully the other campers were happy for us to squeeze in. I forgot to mention what a beautiful location this is - it reminds me a little of Wilsons Promontory with it's turquoise water, white powdery sand and granite boulders. It was still blowing a gale but we seemed quite protected in the campground.
