Another day of decisions … would we leave Lucky Bay and go back to Esperance in order to make the next days looonnng drive a bit shorter. God no! This place is just too intoxicating.

We had ummed and ahhhed over whether to leave Esperance and try our luck at Lucky bay. In the end we decided to give it a go … and that will remain one of the more ridiculous decisions that we’ve ever made.
I mean, just check out this place! The “oh my god’s!” as we came over the last rise to see the colour of the water said it all.
We arrived here and just dropped the van. There were only 2 other vans here anyway, we virtually had the place to ourselves.
I do apologize sincerely for this post. Read on and be thoroughly green with envy at your peril. There’s a lot of pictures and ya just know that they’ll be terrible …
