Cape Le Grand NP to Salmon Gums Caravan Park

It was still grey and slightly windy when we got up this morning so we decided to move on. 
We drove to French Peak first where we walked up the steep, bald rock to a massive cave. From there it was just a short climb up to the top. The view was nice but I guess on a sunny day it would have been more spectacular.

We decided to have a look at the other camp site in the Park and upon arrival we contemplated on staying here for another night as they had two more spots available. But we felt like moving on.

From here we drove 22 km on the beach, a shortcut, back to Esperance. 
Before we would leave the coast behind us we wanted to do the famous Great Ocean Drive, so that’s what we did that afternoon. We drove from one beautiful beach to the next and at some point the sun came out. 
After lunch we had a swim in Blue Haven where the water was crystal clear and dead calm because of the sheltered position it’s in. Just amazing and we felt so happy that at least we got to enjoy the beautiful ocean and beaches at its best if only for a couple of hours.

The loop drive brought us back to Esperance where we bought some bread before driving north to find a campsite for the night.


We ended up at Salmon Gums Caravan Park. It’s a community park and the caretaker on site kept it very neat and tidy. Very much appreciated!
