It was with a twinge of regret (and a bit of a limp on Tony’s part, but it
did get him out of a run across the beach that morning!) that we left Lucky Bay
the next morning, but had a lot more kms to knock off so couldn’t hang around!
Had a quick stop for a cooked brekkie at Esperance, as well as saying hello to
Sammy the Seal on the pier – unfortunately the museum with the Skylab arte
facts
wasn’t open, so we couldn’t get more details of the Americans paying the
littering cost, but the poster outside provided amusement nonetheless.

The planned detour for the day was perhaps a bit
excessive – travelling 200km one way in a different direction to the main
journey might be considered unwise by some given the Beaut’s history – but Tony
had committed to seeing Wave Rock so north we went. Was it worth it? Without a
doubt. Especially when we dazzled some Japanese tourists by pretending to surf
it. Don’t think that’s ever been done before! Also had to make a brief side
trip in the area to see the Hippo’s Yawn – Rich, Al et al would have disowned
us if we’d bypassed such an aptly named rock formation!

Can't get away from waving in this

Some drivers were taking a
slightly riskier approach! |
That night was spent in the insect infested caravan park at Lake Grace. We
were luckier than some of our fellow guests who ended up in a cabin with bed
bugs…
Key Learnings
1. The landscape around the wheat belt in WA isn’t the most exciting you’ll ever
see (we hope, for your sake!)
2. Take extreme care when
removing a stone to enable a door to be closed in a dilapidated caravan park.
You never know what creepy crawlies are hidden behind…
