During the four hour trip west of Perth to Wave Rock and afterwards to Esperance, you drive through the amazing wheat belt of south east of WA. Expansive landscapes and a great way to show the kids where bread comes from.
Silo at Ravensthorpe. Hear the wheat sway in the breeze near Lake King, south west of Wave Rock.
Welcome sign on right at Kondinin before Wave Rock.
Wave Rock is just at the back of the only caravan park in town, so its an easy one minute walk to see this amazing granite formation.
Could not help ourselves to the obvious analogy
It was pretty hot at Wave Rock however it was the flies that were in abundance and driving people crazy. Mandy wore her fly net, thanks to her sister Judy, while the others jumped into the pool to escape. In the morning we had flies on toast, the kids ate breakfast in the car and we left as fast as we could.
We didn't use the camp kitchen- listen to the video above to find out why.
We then drove to Cape Le Grand NP via Esperance and camped at Lucky Bay. This is a beautiful place. We loved the Kangaroos jumping on the beach and into our camp site. Amazing azure blue ocean and rocky outcrops. It was named by Matthew Flinders when he was circumnavigating Australia in 1802.
We wished we had stayed longer to do more walks. The camp ground is being renovated and we can highly recommend this place for a quiet stop. No power but has basic amenities.
Walking down to a neighbouring bay called 'Hellfire'

We drove along the west coast of Esperance to check out the surf breaks for Jack. No surfing today but beautiful beaches with azure blue waters again- magic.
Next- the Nullarbor!
