Esperance & The Capes

From Stokes it's only 80 kms into Esperance.
We're staying at the Beachfront CP.
What a bloody rip off !
Not only wouldn't the give us a credit on a booking in 2014 
when Mum died.
They've chopped the tops off most of the trees, half the ablutions are closed 
for "renovation" and they're charging $45 a night....
Gee I wonder why it's 1/4 full ??
So after 3 loads of washing ....
Off to Cape Le Grande 


At Lucky Bay the Kangaroos were taking it easy.


This was an interesting Hybrid .


Hmmm !


A rare picture of us together.


A different view of Frenchman's Cap
on the way to Rossiters Bay.


Just because !


The Whispering Rock


Lovely Moss Garden.


Heaven knows how many times I driven passed 
Frenchman's Cap , I didn't know it had a hole in it !!!


I'll be buggered !


Then down to the beach at Cape Le Grand...


Oh if you insist !
Down to 20 lbs and off for a 22 km
beach drive back to Town.
It got a bit hairy at the end , but we made it !


Debs and I tried a bit of night photography.


 It was a Full Moon....
The camera and I were not getting on in the dark.
I hope hers are better !


Sunday and it was out to Cape Arid.
A quick look at Thomas River ...


The Flora and Fauna


Then around to Dolphin Cove


Another beaut little garden.


Just as we were about to leave !!!!
Mum and Bub appeared , along with a lovely couple 
from Esperance. 
They had their act together...
Sitting on the rock he was taking pics...
she opened a bottle of West Cape Howe Riesling...
would you like one ?
Well Cape Arid , Whales and Riesling 
Doesn't get any better does it ,
so I had a sip !!!


Now Debs has the Trifecta
Quallup Bells , Royal Hakea and Whales !!!


Then back to Condingup Tavern for one of their 
Famous Burgers and a Beer !
