28 Cape Le Grand National Park near Esperance - 19th October 2012

19th October 2012

We drove from Esperance to Cape Le Grand National Park, about 50 km. Cape Le Grand is heath land and native flowering shrubs. There are beautiful large rocks, of many different shapes - one wears a Frenchman’s cap on the top and there is a large gap at the base of the hat where the sun shines through. There is a mystical feel to the National Park.

When you stumble upon the bays they stop your breath because of the pristine beauty. They certainly remind you of the River of Life, pure and clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of the Father. The sand is pure white and the colour of the water is so clear and such pale blue, that it is hard for the camera to photograph it. Beyond the clear water lies an area of beautiful pale clear turquoise water and beyond that in the deep, the blue is the deepest, bluest water imaginable. 

 There are many beautiful rocks at the edge of some of the bays and other rocks, which look like totems of all kinds of shapes and sizes. It is obvious that this place was also very special to the Aboriginal people. It is an area of great significance. There are islands beyond the bays. There are wonderful walks and climbs.

 A lot of effort has gone into making it comfortable for the visitors who come, yet it still looks untouched. Cape Le Grand sits on the top of places to visit, together with Shark Bay, Coral Bay, Margaret River Region and Cape Leeuwin National Park.
