This morning there was sunshine and we managed to get our washing dry before the winds increased and changed direction. The owners of a neighbouring caravan were out when some of their gear was blowing away. I collected it and weighted it down for them.
A coffee van was open near the entrance to our caravan park overlooking Esperance Bay. It was good coffee but won’t be back until Tuesday morning.
I kept watch on the BOM weather forecast and decided the winds might get worse so we put our awning away late this afternoon. The temperature was 10° but “feels like” 2°. Overnight it will drop to 6° and feel like 1°.
We drove to the shops to buy a newspaper and treat ourselves to coffee and cake. I took Blue for a quick walk while Anita stayed in the warm cafe. There is a lovely swimming enclosure with aqua blue water, but white sand has banked up covering steps – not that we will be swimming!
The cold wind precluded any walking around town, but we did a drive through parts near the water.
There are several interesting murals around town so I captured some of my favourites.
The rain has set in this evening so it’s a good thing we can watch the Commonwealth Games. Being in WA we can stay awake to watch 2 hours more of the coverage than we would have back in Queensland. It’s a shame the Telstra internet here is so hopeless!
