We spent Sunday sight seeing Esperance, we started off taking the Great Ocean Drive scenic drive. Went to the Pink Lake, although not so pink this particular day as it was very overcast, the pink colour is caused from the salt and algae in the water. The coast line of Esperance is beautiful, the beaches have the clearest water and the sand is so white, we spent quite alot of time walking some of the beaches and stopping at lookouts to take photos. There is a wind farm built just above Nine Mile beach, you can walk right up to the turbines. We also visited Stonehenge, a replica of the Stonehenge in the UK. It is built on a farm just out of Esperance and the sheer size and workmanship of this structure is amazing. We spent the rest of the afternoon along the esplanade and walking along the jetty. The resident sea lion was at the start of the jetty having a snoooze on the sand when we got back, he is quite big and looks like he is very well feed.

Yesterday we travelled to Wave Rock, Hyden, it was quite a warm day and we came across alot of locusts. We staying at the caravan park right at the rock, only a 200mt walk to get there. We walked along the base and climbed to the top. The rock is a huge peice of granite that actually takes up quite abit of land. There were heaps of little gecko type lizards running all over it. We also went and had alook at Hippos Yawn, another part of the same rock. We finished the day with another walk up to Wave Rock to watch the sun go down.
