Free camp at Quagi Beach is 55km east of Esperance.  Cost is $2 per person per night.   The area has designated numbered  bays for Caravans; tents can be erected closer to the beach.  Campfires are permitted up until the 1^st of November.  Flushing toilets were clean.  Really pretty and protected camp area abundant with wildflowers and a beautiful beach and bay.

Today we said goodbye to the Italian man and French girl and went to the Natural bridge and the gap.  It was raining heavely and waves ere smashing against the rocks and lots of cars got wet by the waves.  After that we stopped on the side of the road and had lunch then stopped at a free camp called Quargi Beach approxametly 70 km from Esperance.  In the afternoon we walked a bit of the beach and found some nice shells.

Comments – Mum and Dad
we braved a drive to the Gap and natural bridge which is carved from ancient granite on the way home.  Back in 1978 my father had walked out to stand on the bridge with me in tow.  Looking at it today, it is a wonder I lived!



In 1978 my father and I stood on this bridge - I am lucky to
be alive.....thanks Bruce!!!!

Today was a huge drive, but we pushed on to a free camp at Quargi Beach not far from Esperance.
