Esperance Island View Apartments

... have unfortunatly we had to get out of the cold wind. We spent the day that we had there in the caravan and going a bit nutty as we all were in there. Daniel played games with the girls and we would look out now and then in the hope that the rain and cold had eased but no such luck. Ashleigh found a nice no wind spot and played with her farm animals in the sand. We headed off the next day for ...

... all around were good too but it was a very hot day and a very long walk so it was quite tiring.

We then had lunch at another winery and then headed off for the 6 hour drive to Esperance. But along the way our driver stopped especially for me as i was telling her that morning that i had not yet got any pictures of Kangaroos and that all my 'readers' were getting a little impatient as i was ...

... and that finished off our weekend road trip. 


Last weekend Josh and I checked out a improv comedy club. He had never been to one, any sort of comedy thing actually! It was located in a room upstairs a bar in the city. Very small but definitely had that improv kind of atmosphere and the show was really good. I think he really enjoyed it, and we may even look into doing it again this week depending on the availability. 

 
Well that's the summary of ...

The Easter Break was nice although Louise was working for most of it. As I'm on holiday it doesn't really make a huge difference to have another 4 days off .....but I'm very lucky! ? Neil and I went to see Lou at work in the Goanna Gallery where she is a part time Chef. It was the best Steak Sandwich I have ever had, it was beef fillet and just melted in the mouth. The sunsets are amazing in WA, some of my favourite. We have been lucky enough to see ...

... at home). We came back into town to find EVERYTHING shut! We deliberated whether to stay on (as we'd already paid our second night) or make our way to Ravensthorpe (tomorrow's destination). In the end the fishing won out and we decided to try our luck again on the jetty. This time we had some results, but nothing legal size unfortunately. Final count was 4 x leatherjacket and 4 x tommy roughs (herrings).  We headed back to the pub for a couple of beers and watched the ...

... they brought them out in individual cast iron cookers straight off the fire would have been priceless. They were humungous with three shanks in each, the size of which I'd never seen before! As we chatted about "The Soak", wondering about its history and why it had been named so, the lady sitting beside us chimed in with some answers. Turns out after 20 or so minutes of chatting she was the owner. The place was on the market and as we were singing its ...

... as we finished up in the gorge, swimming in another pool. leaving weano gorge, we decided to camp in the karijini eco-retreat, where only a couple of other campervans seemed to have stopped. we heard from a group of three girls staying in one of the other two campers that they'd stayed at the retreat the night before and had been the only ones on site, just proving to us exactly how quiet the north of western australia can be when the rainy season is in town. after finding our spot for the ...

... cannot buy a pass that includes overnight camping fees for a definitive period. The pass only covers entry to as many parks that you can visit in one year. We quickly stocked up with fresh fruit n veg etc for our stay at the non-powered and no drinking water site in Cape Le Grand National Park. We didn't arrive at the Lucky Bay campground til later that afternoon, lucky really as the place was pretty full and given there isn't a check-out ...

Again, if the weather had been more "beachy" we definitely would have hung around! The coastline around Esperance is incredibly beautiful. We have not yet covered the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, but we've discovered another piece of road that will probably rival it. Great Ocean Drive probably only covers a 20km stretch of coastline, but it is spectacular. It runs along the cliff tops and passes a number of ...

... til alt mulig, bla som dagpleje, sports plads, teater scene, pub osv.
Det var noget af et syn af se Lortleaze, rigtig rigtig flot sted ude i ingen ting og helt fredeligt. Lortleaze bestaar egentlig af to farmen (ogsaa Youngleaze), som til sammen bestaar af 12.000 ha og 10.000 faar, saa der er noget af se til.
