Down the coast to Esperance, north to Kalgoorlie & Wiluna, east Uluru to Alice Springs
After spending 3 weeks in Geraldton we headed along the coast, past Perth, to Esperance. Then 900km north to Wiluna and 2100km east to Alice Springs via Uluru and the West MacDonnell Ranges. Down the west coast (sort of) and then east to Esperance We skipped Perth (except Cottesloe Beach for lunch in the cold drizzle - we stayed in Cottesloe for a few months 25 years ago). As we headed around to Esperance we spent some time on the amazing (and varied) coast and some in the bush with massive Kauri and Jarrah trees. The Pinnacles - We were here in 1996 and were a bit surprised to find that WA National Parks have since spent a bazillion dollars building a massive carpark, visitor centre, cafe and concrete paths over the dune. Once away from all the concrete, however, the amazing pointy bits of rock are still pretty cool. 31/10 Busselton has a wooden jetty that, at 1841m, is the longest wooden jetty in a southern hemisphere town called Busselton (or something like that). Pretty impress
