On arriving at Le Grand Beach campground in Cape Le Grand National Park (60kms east of Esperance) we met up with the campground hosts, Margaret and Greg who were also our hosts at Cape Range National Park off the Ningaloo Reef. They are a lovely couple so it was good to have a chat with them again. Cape Le Grand is a gorgeous area. The water is so blue.

Whilst in Esperance, David went off on his motorbike a couple of times. He killed another tyre tube so we had to get that repaired. We did the scenic drive just out of town which shows a lovely coastline and gorgeous blue water - when it's not raining! We took up a tourist membership at the local Blockbuster Video and watched a few dvds. Kylie

We drove through Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun before setting up camp at Starvation Boat Harbour, 50km east Hopetoun.

Spent 3 nights in Albany at a caravan park on Middleton beach. We did a bit of sight-seeing including Cable Beach, Blowholes, Natures Bridge and The Gap. We sampled some of the local beers at the Tanglehead brewery. The weather hasn't been good with scattered showers forcing us inside. Also the air temperature is cooler than we are used to.
