Day 84 – 28/2/14 – Duke of Orleans – Quagi Beach WA

We would have loved to have stayed longer at the Duke, but with it being the Friday of the labour day long weekend in WA we needed to get moving early and find a free camp that we could settle into before the throngs arrived! 

We headed west again, going through Esperance and about 60kms later turned south  towards the beach for a bone jarring drive along 8kms of very well corrugated road. We were going to head to Stokes National Park but at $25/night, but the council ‘free’ camp at $10/night right next door with flushing toilets and outdoor showers won hands down. It was a great camp with heaps of trees to give shade and most importantly act as a wind break in Windy Western Australia



We had all been running pretty hard for the past week so a big afternoon sleep was on the books with Jacko winning with over 2 hours of zz’s! The wind was about 30 knots so we had a quick walk down the beach before a lazy afternoon around the camp finished off with dinner and a few games of Uno to round out the February tournament which was won by Jacko!
