    Interested in van life or travelling to Esperance, Western Australia? Then this travel vlog is for you 😊☮️
    We’re on our western australia road trip, we’ve left Albany and Denmark behind, driven 5 hours west and arrived in Esperance. Esperance is home to the whitest sand beaches in Australia - yep apparently even whiter than The Whitsundays… It's also home to a now-not-pink pink lake, which is actually still a very cool place to explore - don't forget to bring some bird-safe food for Maggie! 😂
    We finish the day with a sunset dip at Twilight Beach. Gosh we're really loving this coastline.
    We’re staying in Esperance and in our next episode we drive further west still to camp in Cape Le Grand National Park. We FREE CAMP right on the beach at Membinup Beach (breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!), explore Lucky Bay and find the resident kangaroos AND do a full day of beach 4wding including some of the biggest drivable sand dunes in Australia.
    This stretch of south west WA is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also a hell of a lot of fun.
    Come join us for this two parter along our van life big lap of Australia.

      Hopefully Maggie is still there, definitely a highlight of the lake! YES, Penguin Bloom? We do need to watch it, especially after Maggie ☺️
      Thank you! 🥰🥰 It is so lovely to know that in a small way the videos help inspire others to travel and explore more.

      Oh wow! We'll have to start making longer videos. Not really sure what the 'sweet spot' for videos is... maybe 30 mins? So glad you enjoyed it guys 🙏

    Very nice vlog. We loved the area last year too. Visit the real Pink Lake at Port Denison. You won't be disappointed. We are looking forward to seeing your next vlog as always. 🧡 from the Pilbara

    Guys.. you travel with a gas bottle sitting on the back seat!!!! Death trap.

      Fair point! But it’s only empty ones and it sits in the passenger footwell wedged between the seats. Should probably chuck it in the Ute try in future. 😇
