Esperance is a town in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, on the Southern Ocean coastline approximately 720 kilometres east-southeast of the state capital, Perth. The urban population of Esperance was over 10,000 as at the 2016 Census. Its major industries are tourism, agriculture, and fishing. The Shire of Esperance is home to 13,477 people.
Near the town itself are numerous beaches, offering surfing, scuba diving, and swimming. Also nearby are a number of salt lakes, including Pink Lake, which gains its rosy hue from red algae living within its waters. Esperance is also home to the Cyclops wave, said to be the world's heaviest wave with massive amounts of water unloading on shallow reef. Cyclops is featured in the surfing films Billabong Odyssey, and the Bra Boys documentary.
There are five major national parks near the town. A major nearby tourist attraction, 20 minutes away from the town centre, is the Cape Le Grand National Park, which offers a picturesque coast of largely granite terrain and sheltered white sand beaches. The park is a popular spot for recreational fishing, as well as four wheel drive enthusiasts and hikers.
Esperance also has a number of wind turbines supplying electricity to the town. Esperance had the first electrical wind farm in Australia, built at Salmon Beach as a research facility in 1987.

Amazing colour to the water. - Margy
ReplyDeleteEsperance is amazing - Hellfire Bay is definitely the prettiest beach in the country. We drove there a few years back - literally a straight road with one turn in 6 hours (or whatever it was from Denmark). Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the dark blue and the pale turquoise waters. Beautiful.

It would be paradise for me too. Amazing place.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting.
Very clever of Esperance to be the first town to have all its electricity needs met by wind turbines. Good scientific philosophy and good technical design.
