TUESDAY 11 MAY    THOMAS RIVER TO ESPERANCE   135kms

We decided not to prolong the inevitable, watching the stored power decline and feeling sad at Thomas River, but to pack up and go back to Esperance straight away.

The day had dawned cloudy again, and the forecast rain was falling.

The time here had been wonderful. The diversity of the southern WA vegetation had been so evident, and enjoyable. Hopefully, we will return, one day.

On the way back, at Condingup, John bought $15 worth of diesel – just to be on the safe side! At $1.08cpl. We refuelled fully at Esperance – $1.04cpl.

Went back into the Seafront Caravan Park, at $19.80 a night, after discount.
