Day 133 03/08/2011 South Coast Highway – Esperance.
Yeah, the sun came out!! Well for a little while at least, but just when we thought we were home free from mechanical problems the light on the electric brake unit in the car no longer lit up when Pete touched the brakes, indicating that we no longer had working brakes on the caravan!! Unbelievable!! Luckily the rain held off until we arrived at Esperance.

We had a long days drive but it took us through what appeared to be a significant crop belt in the south east of WA. For the duration of the trip I heard Pete mutter over and over, “my those are big paddocks!” and “oh my that’s a huge shed and check out how big those silo’s are!!”
We arrived in Esperance and were lucky enough to locate a brake repairer who can check out the car and caravan tomorrow!! Unfortunately as we settled into the caravan park for the night the sky once again opened up and the rain poured and the wind howled. This stopped any plans the kids had of playing in a park or fishing off a jetty that we could see. Cabin fever is slowly setting in……….
Esperance is a gorgeous coastal town and I’m sure on a spring, summer or autumn day the town and surrounding coast would be described as stunningly beautiful, but today it was grey, wet and we were all a little miserable L.
