Esperance & Ravensthorpe shires: wild coasts, astonishing flora…

 

My beloved and I have recently returned from a couple of weeks in one of our favourite parts of “our” planet.

Its coastscapes are magnificently “big wide screen”.

Cape Arid National Park, Cape Le Grand National Park and Fitzgerald River National Park are even more jaw-dropping at the “micro” level – one should always pay close attention to the ground immediately in front of one’s feet!

Remote brewery goes viral, as flowers “explode”

 

As Bob Hudson said nearly half a century ago in his most famous song, “don’t you ever let a chance go by”.

The pictured can’s back label bills the brew as “a light yet indulgent beer to help you through the COVID-19 times”.

Lucky Bay Brewing has excellent beers, their venue is a very congenial lunch spot for anyone lucky enough to be in or near Esperance, and those who don’t love beer will likely be pleasantly surprised by the compact but excellent and reasonably priced wine list.

It is, however, this area’s magnificent, wild coast and its astounding, astonishingly diverse wildflowers that make the adjoining shires of Esperance and Ravensthorpe one of the world’s more compelling “safari” destinations.
