And and the flip of the coin we're off.

The morning after we attempted fishing after dark, we decided to move on again. This time we could not make up our mind on where to go. We have two books that we are using to find our way around. The first book tells us about the

The Beach Craig fell in love with

national parks in Western Australia and the second book we brought is Roads and Track which is actually very useful as it tell you about the camp site in the local area you are in.

 

Craig had fallen in love with a picture he's seen in the first book, the picture shows a beach with white sands, clear sky and three different shades of blue in the ocean. Sounds perfect hey. The drive over there however was going to take us a whole day to get there. Aimee actually didn't fancy driving all that way.

The flipped coin

So we flipped a coin to help us decided on where to go. Heads we got left at the main road and tails we got right.
Craig flipped the coin and our decision was made. At the main road we was to turn left and keep driving until we hit the town of Esperance.

5 Hours later..

We hit Esperance, Our first beach we seen had a jetty with kids jumping off the end of it and to the right of them in the ocean was a float with a slide. The weather was sunny but overcast, with a bit of wind.  We had no idea where we was going to stay that evening. So we got our books out and started to look for places to stay. 

We decided on driving another 40 minutes to the Cape Le Grand national park. Where there was a choice of two camp sites. We decided to take the quickest route. As the sun was descending pretty quickly. Once we was in the area of the national park we had take an unsealed road, which was accessible to 2WDs. However when we drove down there for a few km's we found that the unsealed road turns into a sand track for 4WD's. Time to turn back..

We drove back into Esperance to find a youth hostel. We came across the YHA, $65's a night to stay in a small room with cardboard walls. Our room was in the corridor to the toilets, you can imagine the noise!

After a drunken night sleep we was up again and ready to find the road that takes us into the national park. After a McDonalds breakfast a cup of coffee and abusing the free internet, we started the 40minute journey again. This time taking the right road for us.

Lucky we did take the wrong road the day before because the camp site was closed that evening for maintenance. So we would of had to of drove back to the town. The maintenance guys finished the job at 3pm so we could move in and set up camp for the next 5 days.
