Esperance and Lucky Bay February 2019

We went down to Lucky Bay Esperance for 10 days, it’s been a few years since we were last here and the camping area has changed a lot. It now has around 50 camping spots which are all big enough to easily fit large vans, motor homes etc, each camp also is placed so majority have a view. Lucky Bay has the cleanest squeakiest white sand and the ocean is turquoise in colour, it really is picture postcard perfect but made even more so for the friendly kangaroos that wander around the beach and camp ground. We regularly had a family of three visit us daily for a drink of water, it’s requested not to feed them as they become reliant on handouts. As I write this we have a young roo curled up on our mat listening to our music, he has good taste

We are here with Vickie’s sister Jo and hubby Dave and mates Glenn & Karen, we all have caravans and Landcruiser 200 series. We have driven to see Rossiter Bay, Thistle Cove and Hellfire Bay along with the Cape Le Grand campground and beach. We also drove into Esperance one day to buy a new VAST Satellite receiver box because ours was not behaving itself. Lunch at the Pier Hotel was quite good.

Our time went quiet quickly, we had arrived two days before Jo and Dave and 4 days before Glenn & Karen so we were well relaxed by the time they arrived. We had a go fishing off the beach but had to walk out 20 -30 metres into the water because it was shallow even on the rising tide. Dave caught a herring, i caught nothing. We had good books to read and Happy Hour started earlier each day, so apart from our local drives and swims in the Bay, it was just chill out time. I go into Hospital on the 15th to have a Rhyzotomy which is burning of the nerves in my lower back, hopefully this gives me some relief from the constant pain, i have another procedure the following week. 

We left Lucky Bay two days early so we wouldn't have to drive too far each day to get home, we bushed camped one night and the second we stayed at Billy's property in Donnybrook.

1st October 2018

Well our five month trip around Australia is over and what a trip it was. A lot of where we went we had been before, so the enjoyment factor for some of it wasn’t as high as it should have been, plus having extremely annoying car issues most of the trip, certainly got the stress levels rising, enough to warrant a visit to the emergency section to get the heart checked over, which got the all clear which was a relief but some follow up is required now we’re home, both the car and myself.

Yesterday as we were heading past Coolgardie a thunderstorm hit us with lots of spectacular lightning bolts, not a lot of fun driving through so we pulled into Boondi Rock to stay for the night. We were very impressed with the camp area, large separated camping spots, extremely clean and the dam and rock itself were amazing, the work gone into the canals to direct water was awesome.

One thing we will be doing more of in the future is shorter closer trips to home rather than doing the big laps we have done so many times. In particular we like the granite country out in the wheatbelt country and of course we will still be going to Ningaloo.

Some distance and fuel figures for our trip.

17,623 klms travelled
$6,075 for diesel
3096 litres diesel
21.52LPH average

We hope you have enjoyed our trip stories and photographs, until next we are NIKNOFF again Cya’s
