Day 2 – Esperance to Lucky Bay
After a morning drive along the coast we arrive in Esperance with time to have a look around and lunch. A short drive brings us to the Cape Le Grand National Park where we set up camp only metres from a picture postcard beach. The afternoon is free to explore this stunning coastal park with its white sandy beaches and crystal clear water. A late afternoon hike up the granite formation known as "Frenchman Peak" rewards you with stunning views of the bay and islands of the Recherche Archipelago. (BLD)

Suggested walks will be on offer. (BLD)
Day 4 - Sterling Ranges
We leave early and head for the Sterling Ranges. We will do one of the many walks on offer. We like to keep today flexible as there are so many great spots to visit, the guide will decide the best route on the day but the group may visit 'Bluff Knoll' a 4 hour trek in the Sterling Ranges. (BLD)

Our first stop of the day is at 'Mount Clarence' to overlook the Albany township. From there, the landscape changes dramatically as we head into the heart of the southern Eucalypt forests of Western Australia.
