We drove about 40 km east of here today to the Two Peoples nature reserve, and stopped at Little Beach.  The beach has beautiful clear turquoise blue water and white sand.  We first snorkelled in a bay to the far … Continue reading →

We drove the rather dull 480 km between Esperance and Albany today.  Except for one stop for fuel, and another for lunch, we just drove.  There really isn’t much to see, except for huge storage areas where the farmers deliver … Continue reading →

This morning we left le Grand Beach, and drove to some of the other bays starting at the east end by going to Lucky Bay and working our way back toward the west.  Lucky Bay was quite calm, and other … Continue reading →
