Arriving at Esperance we headed off to the Visitors Information Centre bought the Annual National Parks Pass for $80, collected some more brochures on the area and headed towards the Caravan Park. OK back in business and laundry to be done this time bed linen, towels (might as well) and anything else I could find, including asking Daniel to take off the top he was wearing. Business done we headed off into town on the bikes. 
The pine trees in Esperance have to be the the biggest I have ever seen anywhere so far. They were absolutely beautiful and lined the foreshore and the City Centre. Bunnings is always a must stop for every handyman and Daniel was one that day buying some screws and a drill to attach two more arms to the awning for better support. our return trip took us back through town and purchase of marine shoes for me of course, they didn't have any in Daniel's size. That evening we chatted with a couple who were on their way back to WA and had been travelling for about 2 months. It was an evening well spent and information exchanged about WA and where to go and what to see.
Next morning the itinerary had to be managed and time map planned as far north as Karratha. Emails sent off, Daniel attached the arms to the awnings and he was ready to head to the jetty for some fishing. I left him there and headed back to base but not before trying on 2 dresses, which I didn't buy! instead opted for postcards, made a few phone calls, sent a few emails to friends and family. Daniel paid a visit to the local Music shop picked up a tuner for his guitar and serendaded most of the evening after a few glasses of pale ale. Whatever it was that he played sounded pretty good to me. A couple parked next to us that evening but we spoke briefly in the morning and they had taken about 2 motnhs off and travelling to WA from Victoria with their little kiddies about 5 and 7. They'd told us that they'd done most of the trip so far at free camping sites and that Esperance was their first stay at a Caravan Park. Now that's what you call 'doing it the right way!"
