Esperance

We've been here in Esperance WA for the last week and leave tomorrow, heading back east. We really loved it here, it has the whitest beaches in Australia and plenty of them.

 View from the back window of our van

 We really liked this exact replica of Stonehenge near Esperance. It was built over 9 months from locally quarried Pink Granite, and has 137 stones.  It was very peaceful wandering through it.

 Pink Lake- bushfires about 30 kms away

 Grae hooning on the dry lakebed

 Bushfire smoke, taken from 9 mile beach.  The next day Esperance was shrouded in thick smoke the next morning and everything was covered in ash.

 Another enjoyable happy hour

 Frenchman's Peak at Le Grand National Park,and below the park's beaches,where you can drive on the sand for miles.

 From our back window, cruise ship visiting for the day.
