56 kilometers east from Esperance lies the Cape Le Grand National Park – an ancient landscape, home to many primitive relict species and breathtaking views. What brought us here was the splendid nature… and beaches.
Thankfully, we were lucky enough to get to the park and the famous Lucky Bay Beach just a day after a bush fire was contained in the area.
And although the weather was not the best when we got there, we really enjoyed the experience of the wonderful white sand and turquoise water in the company of some curious kangaroos and their younglings.
Lucky Bay is a draw for tourists for these precise reasons, so we got there early in the morning and enjoyed an empty strip and unbothered by photographs kangaroo families skipping around.
After a scenic walk on the beach in arguably the whitest sand in the world, we took a glimpse from above with our drone.
And while my boyfriend was deep into droning the bay, the beach, the rocks and the belt of bushes that engulf it, I was up to a new challenge- Selfie-stick use 101.
It was a real early start that day, so we soon needed a recharge of our batteries. Luckily, there was an excellent mobile café, offering sandwiches, and scrumptious apple crumble muffins. As a coffee addict, I could not help, but taste their signature drink – the kangachino- cappuccino, sprinkled with cocoa powder and full of chocolate chips, representing kangaroo droppings on the beach.
You see, I have literally never owned a selfie stick and I decided to buy one, specifically for the purposes of our trip Down Under. So what followed was an exhausting rolling, squatting and crawling on the ground trying to get a decent photo with the cute kangaroos, who were approaching us from the bushes in search for a treat. As is to be expected from a selfie rookie like me, I soon got exasperated and asked my boyfriend for help.
Hope this wildlife interaction will bring a smile to your face in the time of social distancing 🙂
