Leonora to Esperance and Cape Le Grand

Hello all
Heading South from Leonora towards Esperance gave me welcome relief from the incessant heat since leaving Victoria.


After a couple of days in Esperance doing some Laundry, and getting the vehicle serviced, I stocked up and headed out to Cape Le Grand and it's stunning white beaches and granite outcrops.

With only one camp site free when I arrived, I had a choice............Lucky Bay or Lucky Bay.........Le Grand Beach seems to be constantly full. Maybe it's time Parks WA time limited stays there to give everyone a fair go.

it's legal to drive on some beaches here
After a couple of nights camped next to a lovely couple from Bellingen in NSW it was time to move on again, back to Esperance again, due to no sites available at Le Grand Beach.

Whistling Rock at Thistle Cove was Whistling
Frenchman Peak
 If you look closely at the skyline there are dots............these are people climbing the peak.

Once back in Esperance I took the opportunity do drive the Coastal Scenic Drive.

While the Camper was off the Ute In Esperance, I took the opportunity to check all the wiring on the Solar on the roof. Whilst I was unable to find any problems, I unplugged both panels and reset the Solar Controller. 
I still don't know what the problem was but whatever it was is now fixed. An overcast day at Le Grand and I was getting 18volts from the panels, today, 25c I was getting 21.5 volts, so maybe it was just the extreme heat?
Tomorrow I am heading to Stokes National Park and westward towards Hopetoun.
 Bye for now.
