Esperance

Yesterday was a rest day but today we were back on the road by 8am heading West. We reached Norseman by 9am and that was the official end of the Nullarbor crossing, all 1215km's of it.

We refuelled at Norseman, where the Diesel price is back to normal, and turned South where we reached Esperance after another 200km's of travel. Total distance today was only around 300km so we checked into the caravan park by lunchtime and thought we'd head into town to get some fresh food - but today is Sunday, and all shops in Esperance are closed!

We made do with some bought salad rolls - will have to get fresh stuff tomorrow. It appears they take their Sunday's very seriously around here - even the tourist information and all the tourist businesses are closed.

Esperance is a reasonably large town with a population of over 10,000 so has many shops and services. It's set in amongst the nicest beaches in the world.

We went for a scenic drive to explore the area and saw some very impressive beaches, but the weather was still cold and we had a stiff breeze coming in from the sea. The occasional rain shower made sure we didn't venture to far from our car.

This place is very nice and has a number of activities on offer, we might stay here for the next few days before we head into Perth.
