Day 18.08

We take a walk around the pretty town of Esperance to find the usual touristy things. It looks like a little ‘Lego’ town. It has a couple of main streets, one the ‘Esplanade’. The ‘Great Ocean Drive’ leading up into the hills and over the bays. Little shops and little houses. The local radio station sending out enthusiastic sounds. People going about their day.
The RSL (Returned and Services League) building is representative of the pretty architecture of Esperance. The War Memorial is gently draped by a sculpted flag, for which young men died. Nevertheless, ‘seek and ye shall find’. There is a pretty little lily pond hidden in the park. A pretty picture to remember Esperance by.
