Beautiful Bremer Bay

So Esperance managed to turn on lovely weather for our 1 night stop and to date the  mild weather is continuing (different to Melbourne I hear).  Still travelling with Kathy and Bruce we made our way to Munglinup!!  5 star accommodation was found at a small campsite a little off the beaten track………

5 STAR!!!???  Hmmmm….

Minimal water, a drop loo (long drop!!) and of course no power,  mainly used for fishing though they weren't biting.  Walking on the beach the next morning one of the fisherman asked if we'd seen the school of sharks that were feeding just off the shore the day before - on a plentiful supply of salmon.  We hadn't, but he told us one would have been 5 metres long - err maybe!

With our travelling companions we had been discussing our potential problems with accommodation with the looming school holidays and Easter.  Bruce and Kathy were eager to head North sooner rather than later but one of our main objectives of this trip was to see the South West region of WA.  So we bade farewell to B & K and continue the trip by ourselves (along with thousands of other caravanners, tenters etc).  

We headed for Bremer Bay - on the western side of the Fitzgerald National Park. A friend had recommended it as a very picturesque place to visit and she sure was on the money (thanks Trish).

A very quiet little spot, a baker, a general store and a hardware store pretty much constitutes the commercial side of things.  The town hosts 2 caravan parks both of which look absolutely delightful and pre the school hols it's pretty quiet.  The park has given everyone camp sites with good space between neighbours and the facilities are very well maintained.  

                                        Green grass - way better than red dust!!

We decided to stay an extra night to give ourselves chance to organise what we were going to do about accommodation over the Easter/school hols.  Several phone calls later we are happily organised to get us through until after the holidays when demand on camp sites will drastically drop off.  By early afternoon  the sun was being very obliging again and we decided to further investigate the many roads and tracks around Bremer Bay.  This place has an abundance of picturesque shoreline with bays, coves and inlets to explore

A great beach just down the road from the caravan park

                            Called 'Little Boat Harbour' this was down one of the many tracks and provided a                 safe little swimming beach.

Not all of the beaches are safe, quiet little coves though; many are treacherous surf beaches with amazing rips and strong currents

Anyway, all up….as you can see…….

….it was a tough day at the office - but someone had to do it :-)
