I think we are in Owlbany

Stopped overnight Sunday between Hopetoun and Ravensthorpe after leaving Esperance and took in theFitzgerald River National Park on Monday. Point Ann was the highlight, again with beautiful white beach and lunch with the local fauna……….PICT0557 PICT0574 PICT0577

 

 

 

although the Ravensthorpe nickel mine blotted the landscape along the way somewhat. Apparently our very own big miner couldn’t make a go of it but sold it to the frogs for 1.7 billion and they’re making a go of it.

Some very interesting flora also in the park  – love to know what they are……PICT0571 PICT0583 PICT0578

Arrived in Bremer Bay about 6.00pm on Monday without a booking in the local caravan park ( no phone reception all day). Rocked up to a closed office and couldn’t get anyone to answer the bell. Upon closer inspection found the portico to the park would not allow us to pass under anyway so we moved on to a park further through town. Same story – office shut but at least a phone number to call on the door. Did and we were directed to a site to sort out payment next day. Quite nice older park with over 200 sites.

Bremer Bay is a small fishing port and a holiday destination judging by the permanent caravan/shacks  in the park. Very attractive beach but it’s a single windmill town…

and the museum wasn’t even open.
