Redsquare Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Love the photos. Esperance is now on my list of places to visit. How long does it take to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfie Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 It took us 8 half hours but we stopped 4 times on route down as we had a dog with us. The scenery is amazing and if you like camping it has some good places. One of the beaches on the national park had squeaky sand strange but true had an amazing time.

fifi69 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks for sharing Elfie, looks amazing. We are heading down there camping next month, never been before so you've really wetted my appetite.. Am I right in thinking you camped with your dog?...tent or van? how was that side of things? Are the campsites mainly dog friendly? Not sure wether to take our dogs...we Didnt when we went camping up north, although most sites would let them even Monkey Mia which surprised me. I was just a bit worried about the heat mainly!! Felt bad not taking them though!! Any other tips on places not to miss. We were thinking of doing coastal on the way down but coming back via inland for some of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatpack Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Is it Esperance where there is a massive boulder on the beach? If it is, when we were there in 2009, we were told it was estimated at 10ton and just arrived with a storm. ! day it wasn't there and the next it was! Got to agree it is a really beautifil place.

We were thinking of doing coastal on the way down but coming back via inland for some of the way. Hi Fi We were lucky went with friends and their dog and stayed with her sister who lives there. There are dog friendly camp sites and beaches would advise booking camp site. Dogs are not allowed in the national park and on a few walking trails as they put poison down for the foxes there are signs informing of where you can access with a dog. Can drive on the beach with a 4x4 to get to national park its 22k if you drive the road way its 60k something ............... Give replica stonehenge a miss I nabbed some pics from the road side. If you like the camping outside life then its fab. Plenty of stops for dogs and people take your own food though the food in the road stop cafe things are not good look as if they had been there for days. We only used facilities and grab a coffee as we took food with us and let the dog out for a wander. Edited January 7, 2014 by elfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolac34 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 We are hoping to head down camping soon. We were going to go for Australia Day long weekend but I think work will be slammed so going to try the Labour day weekend. Take the Thursday and Friday off work and have 5 days (including driving there and back) there. Think we'll do the 8 hours in one slog, or maybe drive half way after work on Wednesday.... not sure where there is to stop half way though! Probably some outback shack! Can't wait, it's been on my to do list for a couple of years now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
