Wharton and little Wharton beach

-

Yesterday we had another quiet day

We headed out of the Cape Le Grand National park and visited 

Wharton and Little Wharton beaches, considered one of the best beaches in the 

Esperance area , these beaches are located in the Duke of Orleans Bay  

We drove to little Wharton beach first ,

Checkout this amazing hedge of Banksia Serrata (yep i looked it up)

These shrubs/trees are just amazing.

Little Wharton beach was another gorgeous white sand beach, in a lovely little cove , you can 4WD drive across it, but we decided to not. Instead we sat and enjoyed its beauty and again watched a pod of dolphins frolicking out in the bay.  

Whist Gadget (my dear  husband) flew his drone to get some amazing aerial footage i played with the 

Seaweed and took some up close shots. I love how once life slows down you just start to slow down 

And start experimenting and playing, this is how life is meant to be.

The above photo is Wharton beach , it was a really lovely long beach with probably less seaweed than some of the others , but I may be a little biased ,  but i love Lucky Bay and Thistle cove.

Again gadget played with his drone and had it following us on the beach, he was practicing so he can get it to follow the Reggie as well.

This was Duke of Orleans Bay , again a lovely stretch of beach  .

After the beach visits we headed to Condingup Hotel for a late lunch. A really nice spot with great burgers and chips.

We then headed back to camp , I made my first sourdough dough of the trip. 

It was all mixed, and shaped and popped in the fridge for baking tomorrow, i had a feeling it was going to be a great loaf.

The absolutely amazing sunset we were blessed to see last night.

Another amazing day in 

Wonderful Western Australia 

Until the next blog

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden...

Our  great escape began on Friday,  In an amazing consequence  our journey will be bookmarked at the begging and end by a  celebration of Love. Reggie and Ruby headed north to the cute little town of dungog    Dungog has always been a special place to me  My sister was born in Dungog  When i became a young adult and and discovered the freedom of having my own transport It was a favourite destination, yep fuel was a lot cheaper in those days. And in  more recent years i have spent many wonderful crafty weekends in Dungog,  We set Reggie and Ruby (R&R) up at the local showground.  We then did the relatively  short walk to the Main Street. After having a little wander around and chatting with the friendly shop owners we found ourselves enjoying an ale or two at the tin shed brewery, lovely friendly staff, and we both enjoyed our beverages. We ended our evening at the Settler Arms  hotel joining the future Mr and Mrs Madde...
