CAPE LE GRAND TO WAVE ROCK AND ALBANY

Well, It has taken some time but here I am again.

We left Cape Le Grand and headed back to Esperance to stock up on food and meet up with Barb and Tony. Would definately stay at Cape LG again and hopefully we will get back some day.

I took a photo from the car with Esperance in the distance. I love clouds.

After leaving Esperance we stopped at Ravensthorpe for lunch. This hotel was built in the late 1800s.

After leaving Ravensthorpe we looked for a freecamp. We couldn't find a designated one so, after looking around we drove up a dirt road and as the verge was quite wide and there didn't seem like much traffic would use the road, we pulled over and set up. It was quite remote and the fields had wheat growing so the view was quite idealic. After a little while a farmer drove passed and told us it was okay to stay the night but we should close all the windows as a large semi would be coming passed. It was good we did as the dust was quite thick, but it didn't last long.
And so we enjoyed happy hour!!

The following day we drove to Hyden and Wave Rock. It was awesome.
Doesn't really look like we're surfing, more like skating.... oh well.

I set the camera on timer so we could all get into the shot. I just made it back.

We walked on top of the rock and saw these lizards. They really blend with the rock don't they.

From Wave Rock we drove a little way to Hippos Yawn. This shot is a little crooked - I put the camera in a tree and set the camera on timer.

It was time for lunch so went back to a bakery in Hyden. Right next door was a scrapbook shop but, wouldn't you know it, it was closed ... what disappointment :-(

It was time to leave and find another freecamp. We found one in a Recreation Reserve in a place called Bordern. It's so good that they allow travellers to stay at their reserve on lovely green grass... so good. The following day we left and headed to Albany. This mountain range was a great sight ... so (you guessed it)... awesome!!

We got to Albany and booked into the caravan park. We then discovered we had a broken leaf spring on the caravan. We couldn't go any further until it was replaced.

We finally found a guy who would make some springs for us - we ordered one to replace the one that broke and one just in case. Tony was a bit worried so he ordered one too, just in case.
We had to stay in Albany for an extra few days. It's so good that Arnold can fix almost anything. It only took a day and it was all back together and we could be on our way again. Next stop would be Pemberton and the Valley of the Giants.

Until next time, bye for now.
