Sunrise at Cape Le Grande Campsite with glow from a bushfire burning in Esperance (Pink Lake vicinity).
On Thursday 13th May were up and out of bed
(yes we do have a bed in our roof top tent!) by six thirty
Overcast, and threatening rain. Porridge cooked in the camp kitchen, with green tea for me and coffee for Andrew. Packed up the tent with the intention of doing a section of the Mount Le Grand walk, visit other beaches in the area, drive back to Esperance for lunch and then continue on to Stokes Inlet campsite in the Stokes National Park for the night.
Tried out the solar powered showers which were fine, despite warnings of hot water shortages.
Walked as far as we were comfortable along the Mount Le Grande walk, that is until it turned into a mountain goat trail, then returned to the car. We'd encountered some light showers on the mountain and by the time we were back at the car its peak was shrouded in misty cloud.
What amazing scenery, how does one fit into such a space, the spectacular views we saw that morning?
We visited such places as Lucky Bay, Hellfire Bay, Whistling Rock and Frenchman's Peak.
I'll post a few random photographs and let you drool.
Whistling Rock
Imagine this to be a hundred times better in real life and you'll not even be close to how it looks in reality.
