On the way again, we left Esperance and headed south towards Hopetoun. A town that became one of our favourite places to visit since 2007.
On the drive down we called into the farm gate art stops, quirky things made out of old machinery. Strange but worth a look.
I can’t resist taking photos of the wild flowers, each time we stop, so there will be plenty from now on, spring in WA is the the best.!!
I think this is meant to be a helicopter, but the little lamb was what caught my attention.
There is a new RV area behind the sand dunes, so we are parked up for a couple of days. The town has changed so much since we were here the first time. Back in 07 it was mainly gravel tracks through sandhills with a pub on the beach front. Now there are more houses, shops and a park. The pub is still the most prominent building in town.
It seemed quite safe to unhook the van and go for a drive, so we went out to some of the other areas close by. The fields of canola are beautiful at the moment.
thats supposed to be a bull in the paddock , then an all year round Christmas tree!!
Last time we were here the gravel road came through this area, now it has been made into a bird sanctuary and a new bridge and road built.
The beach behind us became quite rough a couple of nights ago, all night I could hear the waves dumping. A bit different to our bush camps.
Then just like that, it calmed, and today we walked into town for a coffee, a sit in the park, then came back to the van along the beach. Just perfect.
Can you see why we love this place?!, even the seaweed is beautiful to me on a day like this. Tomorrow we move on….
