DAY 9 & 10

Day 9 Thursday 26th

We woke up to blue Skies a last! But still very cold and seas choppy.
Van all packed and left the park at 0815, not as early as we thought, but to cold to get out of bed early!!
Our next planned stop for breakfast is Ravensthorpe. As we drove away from Esperance, it’s amazing to see beautiful lush green grass. Haven’t see it in a while! Got to Ravensthorpe for Brecky, Guess what? More B…….. rain. Still nice hot food and on our way again. Just outside Ravensthorpe we saw a huge Nickel mine. They gouge half of the mountains away to get to it. Still has to come from somewhere!
Onwards to Albany, sun out starting to feel good! Negotiated our way through Albany to find the van park.
Absolutely great park 5 star. Short walk over the dunes there’s the Ocean. Had a quick look around the town in the arvo. Very nice town, they even have a MacDonald’s( I can Hotspot there).The port here is still operational, not sure what goes out though! Some of the old houses from the early days are all tidy up and heritage listed.
A bit later we went out for a romantic beach walk, Yep I know a bit soppy!!
Spoke to Rick and Tracey they are still in Kalgoorlie, not sure where they are going next. But we will meet up again the other side of Perth.
Back to van dinner, clean up and DVD. A bit tired early to bed.

Day 10 Friday 27th
Once again woke up to sunshine it’s starting to look good. Tried to get a booking on a river cruise but all booked up.
So we heading West to Walpole 70 odd Klms away. There they have a tree top walk through massive big Karri and Red Tingle trees. About one hours drive and we were there. If you been to The Otway Fly it’s exactly the same, except half the price!
These trees are huge, had a walk around took the obligatory Pics, then headed back. On the way found a great place to eat, the food was brilliant. I think I am putting on weight!!
Also found a Toffee factory on the way back, more weight! Spent $50 on toffee!!
Back to the park for some dinner and happy hour. Then off to the pool and spa for a swim and soak. Should sleep well tonight!
