We say au revoir to Esperance tomorrow (5th Dec) heading east across the Nullabor. We plan on it taking about 3 days to get to the border (depending on what we see) and then we will stay at Smoky Bay and Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula for Xmas and New Year. Our final days in Esperance have been spent getting organised for the next three weeks. This included getting four new tyres for the car, John installed a smoke alarm in the van and a fire exthinguisher in the car so should be covered for all dramas now. This is our last opportunity to shop for Xmas in a good sized town where prices are reasonable so have stocked up on the Xmas food and other goodies. Today (Friday) we did the Ocean Drive tour again which really is spectacular but drove the opposite way round from last time. Still too cold to snorkel or swim. We have enjoyed Esperance it really is a lovely spot and well worth a visit. Can throughly recommend a trip here. Just pick the time of year that you come. We would like to come back one summer to enjoy the great beaches. The shots of the beach are at 9 mile beach which we think would be great snorkelling. The bird looks like a goose so we called it a sea goose but don't know what it is. Finally here we are playing rumikub on Dennis' last night. (You'll be happy to know I have had my haircut since this photo). The next time we update the blog we will be in South Australia some 937kms from Esperance to the border. 
It does get hot there I promise you!! It was 35 for the 3 days we were there in Jan!! A lovely town in South Australia to visit is Elliston. We could have happily settled there. Rob's motorbike meeting is there next year. If you have time check it out!!XX Glad you enjoyed Esperence, it is one of the wonders of the world I think!
