A grey nomad’s adventure around Oz

Visiting Esperance

Somehow time has disappeared once again! Also, I used up my monthly data allowance early which meant that any internet access was extremely slow, so too hard to try and put photos on here. New month starts tomorrow so will get to work with some more phots.

Headed down to Esperance this morning…a 5.5 hr drive..to visit friends for a few days. Figured that if I did not get down now it would be several months before I could make it..can’t drive for 6-8 weeks after surgery.

Beautiful drive down here….heaps of wildflowers still out. did stop several times to take a few photos but just am not able to get off the road into the bush with my hip so chose just to sit back and enjoy the flowers. Was quite surprised at how many wildflowers are still around…fantastic whites, yellows,blues…well, virtually any colour you can imagine. Frustration, frustration. Oh well ..they will still be there next year.

Have started going to the pool daily to exercise in the warm water and hopefully build up my leg muscles so that I will come out of the surgery in a slightly better state. Not looking forward to the time after I come home and trying to manage on my won…..Bronte & Bec and Mel & Mark and also Mark’s parents have offered for me to spend time with them, but I really don’t want to burden any of them, so hopefully by the time I come out I can manage on my own.

Have had thunder and rain go through here since I arrived….not good for the farmers trying to get harvest under way. Hopefully the Margaret River area got some rain …..to hlep extinguish the heart-breaking fires that have destroyed 30+ homes…so tragic. So hard to try to imagine how devastating it must be to have no home to go to and virtually no possessions.
