Aqua Waters

WEST BEACH From Esperance you can do a great scenic loop drive that takes in some magnificent beaches. Just loved all the granite and the white sand.
ARCHIPELAGO OF THE RECHERCHE the name of the various granite islands off the coastline.
OBSERVATION POINT just some of the shells amongst the rocks.
ESPERANCE PORT This afternoon we did a tour of the port, it was very interesting and could bore you with lots of facts. They have boats delivering fertiliser and sulphur and boats taking away iron ore, nickel and wheat. This boat is taking on board iron ore to be delivered to China for the manufacture of stainless steel and will drop down to below the red line. The boat is steered in and out with two tugs at a cost of $60,000 each way, the tugs cost $6.3 and $5.4 million respectively.
