We weren't going to visit Wave Rock in our plan but we wanted to see it and decided to travel the 195kms out of our way (each way) to see it. We were suitably impressed and took many pictures of us surfing the rocky wave (very original I know).
The above photo was of "Hippos Yawn" which you can tell by the name what this looks like. The boys enjoyed pretending to tickle the hippos tonsils. Our campsite was next to Wave Rock and the flies were so bad that we would have become insane if we had stayed longer than 1 night. Many people we saw had either the corks dangling from their hats or a mesh screen hanging from their hats. Bring out food and the flies decide to party on your food.
We went on a coastal drive around Esperance and saw many beautiful beaches and admired the crystal blue water.

Benjamin wanted to pretend surf on all the rocks he found after our wave rock visit.
Ben took the above photo which I thought was a very good job for a 5 yr old. It was the 2nd photo he'd ever taken.
More rock surfing!
This is the resident Sea Lion which hangs around the Tanker Jetty in Esperance near our caravan park. We call him Samy the seal as there is a bronze statue on the jetty of a seal by this name. He was on the sand under the jetty but a tourist scared him into the water and he put on a great show for us in the water. He waits for people to cut up their fish on the jetty and throw him the off cuts. The boys want to watch him for hours!
Today we visited a bird and animal park and the boys enjoyed feeding some lambs a bottle of milk and feeding kangeroos, alpacas, ponies, and sheep. They also had the chance to hold guinea pigs and rabbits. The GP's were too fast to catch and tended to bite but the 2 small brown rabbits were much more friendly and the boys wanted to take them with us. They have put them on their Christmas wish list.

Well we are finally up to date for our travel blog. On Monday we are heading to Cape Le Grand National Park and will camp there for 4 nights. We will have no power and I assume no internet and phone reception. We are looking forward to some even more pristine white sandy beaches and the boys are all hoping for some good fishing. The weather forecast is for some warm to hot weather next week so we are hoping this comes true.
Bye for now.
Sue.
