earlier summer months. By February and
March, it’s warmer but still very refreshing.
Esperance itself is a vibrant town and port of around
5000 people. It has a full range of accommodation
from caravan parks to hotel rooms. There are a wide
variety of restaurants, shops and supermarkets for
replenishing the supplies after the long trip across the
Nullarbor. A great place for a post camping revitalisation
is the historic Taylor Street Tearooms, a former hospital
with relaxing views overlooking Esperance Bay.
By far the most impressive scenery in Esperance
township itself is the “must do” Great Ocean Drive. The
drive previously called the Tourist Loop is 38km in length
and passes great beaches. Turning inland, the road heads
pass Pink Lake. The water sometimes appears bright pink
because of an algae growth. Interestingly, in recent years
the pinkness hasn’t always been that evident. Man made
features along the drive include the wind power generators
that stand above the surrounding hillsides. This wind power
adds a 22% boost to Esperance’s electricity supply.
More often than not Esperance is windy. Sometimes
these winds pump in from Antarctic way producing
bracing condition to say the least. Other times in summer,
northerlies blow in from the desert causing temperatures
to sour into the 40s. Fortunately these temperatures
rarely last long and it’s not uncommon for temperatures
to drop 20 degrees the following day. Esperance can put
Melbourne to shame with its four seasons in one day.
