You do meet some interesting (and some downright odd) people as you travel around. I had just arrived at the caravan park in Carnarvon and was admiring the artwork on a campervan nearby which depicted a man that resembled Bob the Builder but instead of tools, this Bob had a beer can in his hand.

I dropped in for a beer which was interesting as I think all the beers on tap are brewed locally in F...

Cape Le Grand is in a National Park located about 60 km to the East of the town of Esperance. This park was the destination from my journey from Balledonia. Cape Le Grand NP lies on the South coast and has numerous white beaches interspersed with granite outcrops. It is not unlike what you will find on the east coast of Tasmania. I stayed in the Lucky bay campground for a couple of nights. It was lucky for me as I managed to turn up just in time to get one of th...
