Kalgoorlie to Esperance

6th July 2013

Well not suprisingly we had a late start this morning, must have been something I ate last night? After breakfast, we packed the car, said our goodbyes to Maca, Kel & the kids and hit the road by 10.45am.

After a couple of hours we stopped off at Norseman to grab some lunch and as we were heading out of town we came across the Tour de Crawf, which is where Shane Crawford is riding from Melbourne to Perth raising money for Breast Cancer. A big effort for a great cause!

Meeting Crawf - a champion

So we stopped and had a chat with Crawf, congratulating him on his efforts and he was a really good bloke to have a chat with. After donating some money and watching an impromptu "Welcome to Country" which was performed by 3 young local aboriginal boys, which was great, we were back on the road again.

We arrived in Esperance at around 3.15pm and made our way to Wal & Mandy's house, where we are staying while in town. The rest of the day was spent catching up with Wal, Mandy, Sian (our niece) and her boyfriend Avon which was really great as it has been about 9yrs  since Rach & I were last here.

 We also got to watch the Eagles win a thriller by 6 points over Adelaide, which was a great effort!
