So turns out I did pass all my classes, which means I do get to graduate...yay! I also got a job about eight hours south of Perth in Esperance, which I think is pretty awesome. I am a few weeks in and so far so good, I've learnt lots, and still have lots to learn. I'm excited to get involved in the community here too, they have a nice surf club which has a fantastic view over Twilight Beach, and they have a few hockey teams too.
All the beaches are spectacular which suits me fine, I want to explore them all, and I know where I'll be taking all my visitors. Mum and Dad came down and helped me settle in and we spent a day exploring Cape Le Grand National Park; Lucky Bay and Thistle Cove were our favourite spots. The sand is so fine it squeaks, and the water is so clear! I didn't find it too cold, but it is certainly known to get very cold!
Before I came down here I spent a week in Dunsborough with my family- dog included! We all drove down on Boxing Day, leaving the sales and Christmas mess behind us! We did all our usual things, beach, beach and more beach! As well as driving and exploring, and paddling. It was a good chance to spend time together before my big move.
We checked out Yallingup and Margaret River. and this time we made it as far as Hamelin Bay and Augusta. The fish and chips in Augusta were certainly worth the drive! The dog certainly slept well that night, she just loves running along the beach.
Between finishing uni and Christmas I did do a bit of casual reporting. That was a good bit of experience to get under my belt and I learnt a bit too. During this time I also put another bronze group through and did a few more patrols. I do like spending my time at the beach! Good thing it’s only a 5-minute drive from where I am living at the moment! That being said, I’m sure I’ll have some more beach inspired adventures to come.
