Esperance

Visiting Esperance was never on the plan, but I have made good time so far, covering over 3000k in the first five days, so I decided to have a day off at Cape Le Grand National Park. This one of the great attractions of Esperance, although it is 45 k from the town. 

i think the pics says it all. A great place to spend my birthday (although no mobile reception here)

After quite a bit of rain last night, and an overnight camp that was great except for one little thing. A mile long diesel train ran within 30 meters of my camping site. And it passed through twice during the night. Once at 11.00pm, and then again at 3.30 am. Both times waking me up. The actual diesel locomotive was so loud, I really felt my hearing could suffer permanent damage. 

Still the camping fees were only 5 dollars. I am not sure what the cost for the audiolologist will be. 

Today makes up for it. This is the most beautiful spot, and includes extremely tame kangaroos hanging around the camp. 

Because I am ahead of time, I plan to make another detour and go to Kalgoorlie via the very famous Wave Rock, and then onto Laverton for the start of the trip.
