ROAD TRIP FROM PERTH TO ESPERANCE - WHAT TO SEE Western Australia is Australiaยดs largest state with a total land area of over 2,500,000 square kilometers. During summer the best option is road tripping down south to escape the flies and the strong sun. Perth to Esperance in the summer (November - March) has great weather conditions and let you fully enjoy this area. Even tho Esperance is from Perth 720 km, we did 4 870 km. Thatยดs why it cost us so much as well:D We broke down all the costs for this road trip. In total, it cost us 1 946 AUD. 1 167 AUD for fuel, 695 AUD for food, 84 AUD for camping accessories (Gas bottles, torch batteries) โขBlue Boat Shed Lately the most Instagram-able spot in Perth. Boatshed in the middle of Perth City is a picturesque peaceful place inside of the hustle and bustle of busy city life. โขMargaret River Grapes fields and wineries everywhere give to this town the chilled and holiday atmosphere. If you have more time, explore some of the many breathtaking caves and go for a ride into the forest with giant trees. โขGreens Pool ๏ผ Elephant Rocks Greens pool is roughly 500 m long from and 300 m wide. Together with on the other side Elephant Rocks, it has been created naturally by rocks protecting this shoreline area from the swell of the Southern Ocean. โขLittle Beach in Two Peoples Bay Little Beach is a stunning white beach with sand same like in Esperance, pristine clear and squeaky. Two giant rocks in the middle of the beach make it even more picturesque place. As itยดs inside of Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve, there is a day entrance fee 13 AUD per vehicle. Tip: We highly recommend you to pay the entrance day pass and display it on your dashboard. The day pass ticket works on the honesty box principle. After chilling on chilling on the beach and coming back to the car, we were the only car without a ticket fine from the ranger. #awesomepic #couplestrip #historicallandmarks #travelinspiration #instagramworthydestinations #australia
