Esperance

Arrived back in Esperance around lunch time today. Slowly making our way to Norseman & start of our biggest adventure "CROSSING THE NULLARBOR". Should turn east on Sunday & will slowly take our time to cross. Plenty to see ie blowholes, caves, amazing cliffs, loads of free camping + Bob has another 13 holes of the famed "Nullarbor Links" to play @ Fraser Range sheep station + all the roadhouses & ending in Ceduna in SA. Also want to spend some time exploring the Eyre peninsular & all those wonderful beaches & towns we have heard about from all the other happy travellers we have met along the way. We are both really looking forward to this part of the Witchwae travels. Have a housesit starting on 30th April till 2nd June in Gawler about 1 hour north of Adelaide.

This one outside the "Mermaid" leather shop. They make fish & shark skins into leather. It is absolutely beautiful & soft & makes the most amazing array of goods. Belts, handbags, scales into earrings.
