The Diving Board

Stuck in a moment

Arrived in Esperance and we immediately went to Twilight cove, a popular beach in the town area, but was deserted at 4pm when we arrived, maybe thats because of the alleged sharks..

Swam straight out to the huge rock a couple of hundred meters off shore, climbed up and jumped off a few times, slowly at first, but the three of us we were doing triple jumps from the top, really good fun especially id you land in a wave as it passes by…

Managed to get a action shot, see the 3 figures caught in mid flight, see above.

Spent the evening eating the biggest portion of fish and chips, with a few beers & playing pool.

Easy Rider Bus

Frenchmans Peak

Next morning at 7am we shot out to Cape Le Grande National park about 30km out of town, climbed Frenchman’s peak, a steep climb, but not as tough or as long as the hike the other day up Bluff Knoll…but not before I set fire to my socks first thing trying to dry them out in the microwave...DOH

Lucky Bay

Hellfire Beach

Learning to body surf

Awsome Waves - Hellfire Beach

After that we hit Lucky bay for a look at this sunning beach, but choose to spent our time at Hellfire beach had lunch, and Greg taught a few of how to body surf…the next best thing when you don’t have a body board!

After that the Easy Rider Bus rolled on, but as I was staying in Esperance I had 5 days to my self until the next bus…

Beach side bike ride with Helen.

During which I did the great ocean drive, but on a mountain bike with a Helen a French Canadian girl from the Hostel, brilliant cycle track right along the coast, 20k return, went all the way back to twilight cove for a swim…and a dive.

Woddy island cruise

Woddy island cruise

Did a cruise to Woody Island one of over a hundred islands that form the Recherche Archipelago, basically these islands helped two French ships shelter from a storm back in the day, and then allowed them to discover Esperance! Saw sea eagles and sea lions and heaps of other stuff on this cruise and did a short walk on Woody island.

Went running in the evenings along the coast, chilled out, watch Liverpool Beat Chelsea 2-0…basically had a great time !
