| All to ourselves! |
We’ve been making sure to put our camper to good use and have been making some little tweaks to it along the way-like installing some shelves and adding solar panels.
We
spent a weekend out at Alexander Bay which is just over an hour’s drive from
town. The campsite is lovely and there's plenty of spots to camp on the beach too. It was very windy, but we managed to tie ourselves down! There were so many secluded beaches to explore where we had it all to ourselves!

We even rescued some people who had been bogged for two hours trying to get off the beach with their boat. They were very appreciative and threw us some beer and fresh fish they had caught (which we turned into fish and chips!) Whilst we didn't need the reward, its always the right thing to do to help someone out. You'd want help if you were stuck! We were surprised that several people would have driven past them and didn't stop to help.
We'll definitely be back to explore more out east of town, we checked out Cape Arid National Park and Thomas River and maybe this will be the spot to stay next time.
We went to a pretty different sort of show! Nathan 'Whippy Griggs' came to perform in Esperance and it was definitely worth a look. I've seen a bit of whip cracking at markets up north, but never a full show. He had a lovable, sometimes cringe worthy personality and put on an awesome show. Make sure you check it out if you have the chance.

| On fire! |
I also had a very awesome patrol. Seven of my buddies came down to have lunch with me. They asked me to save them a spot on the beach, so I put cones out! We had such a lovely time and I hope they come and visit me next time!
I went for a scenic flight up the coast too! It pays who you know! We flew along from 11 Mile Beach up to Cape Le Grand and spotted a lovely little pod of dolphins and it was a beautiful day.
