Day 120 – Elliston (5 Jan)

Note:  We have found a new way of displaying the photos.  With this new format it means we can upload more photos and not have to severely cull them for the blog.  We can also add captions.

What to do!

1.  Click on view full album – photos will upload.  You have options to view, ie. slideshow or thumbnails.

2.  Choose to view in slideshow (easier to view and shows captions). The slideshow option is above the first photo.  This will progress automatically or you can do it manually with arrows.

3.  When finished viewing photos, use the back button to get back to the blogpage

Hope you like the new format. Let us know what you think

Drove to a beach called Locks Well about 18 kms east.  What a lovely spot.  Very popular fishing spot particularly for salmon.  We were surprised at the number of fishermen (and girls) were there today beach fishing. They have a salmon fishing competition beach during winter.  The drop to the beach is 60m and thank goodness they have built steps down to the beach (283 of them).  The sand was pristine, not as white as Esperance but just as unspoilt.  We ducked around headlands that jutted into the water and found more secluded bays.  It is just wonderful.  There are very strong rips here so swimming is not recommended.  There was a lot of sea spray which was kinda neat and meant there was a lot of scrub growing on the rocks.  It was a really nice spot to wander around and while away a few hours.

  1. Good job with the photies, they are fab. We loved Elliston, definitely worth a visit. Loved the 'beach art'.
