Stunning beaches all around Esperance.

Visited Cape le Grande National Park. Saw heaps of emus. Lucky Bay was stunning and had very fine sand that squeaked. The flies were out of control in the national park!

The colour of the water looks as if it has been photo shopped but it really is this amazing aqua colour and is so clear. This is a very windy area though and the days fluctuated from having your winter woollies on to beach days. 

There is a 40km ocean drive with a great cycling path that takes in all the beaches and the Pink Lake. The Pink Lake however is NOT pink. It used to be. Commercial salt mining, which only ended in 2007 reduced the salt levels along with increased goundwater inflow due to clearing in the catchment. The pink colour is caused by the algae that can grow in salty water but it has now gone but might be back if the salt content increases.

Disturbed a kangaroo in the act! He wasn’t amused.
