Every day at Esperance gets better!
The day began with a Pilates class for 3 slim figures.
We set off for Cape Le Grande N.P. - 60km- and were excited to see beautiful Smoke Bush,
and lots of other flowers.
An Isopogon... Conebush
Banksia speciosa in abundance
Kunzea baxteri
A red Grevillea and white tea-tree type flowers.
We climbed for 1 1/2 hours up Frenchmans Peak - a huge granite outcrop.
Beautiful views and lots of flowers again ...cameras were running hot!
? pea
A pink tea-tree with huge flowers
A scented Sticky tailflower
Hovea
Rob had his orchid eyes on, and spotted some Donkey orchids and some tiny Greenhoods too.
Then onto Lucky Bay for lunch - long stretch of magnificent beach with the whitest, finest, squeaky sand - (they claim it is the whitest in Australia) and unbelievably turquoise water.
Next stop Hellfire Bay - huge granite rocks with their smooth surfaces.... a magnificent backdrop to another beautiful bay.
And more flowers along the roadside... cameras (and phones) started running out of space and going flat.
A red Banksia
Pimelea ferruginea .. Rice flower
Lambertia
A wonderful day.
Dinner ... oysters and fish - this time Queen Snapper- a treat!
