Esperance waterfront.
Thursday 18th August.
There is a resident sea lion down at the jetty here in Esperance. However we haven’t seen Sammy yet, hope we do tomorrow. John and I walked out and back on the jetty, and lo and behold, waiting at the kerb there is a mobile café; ready to serve you a coffee when you finish your walk. They even supply plastic chairs so one can enjoy the view of the harbour. Esperance is a busy shipping port; with trucks and trains going to and fro through the gates. Our caravan park is not far from the waterfront.

It was a perfect sunny day to go for a 40 klm scenic coastal drive after our walk on the jetty. There are some great lookouts. We scanned the horizon for whales, with no luck. The water is a beautiful colour, blues and greens and very clear. Both of us took plenty of photos as usual. I decided not to get out at some lookouts, think I wore myself out on the walk. So I was the lazy photographer, snapping away from the comfort of my seat. John enjoyed spotting wildflowers and managed to find a couple of new ones we hadn’t seen before.
Beautiful beach.

We had another coffee stop at one of the beaches, before we continued on. Lunch was fresh rolls at a parking area in front of the jetty when we came back to town.
We still have another day here to look around the shops and the museum.
