Heading south from Kalgoorlie & skirting Esperance we drove past Stonehenge
It is a full size replica of the original 'Stonehenge' in the UK, as it would have looked around 1950BC
The structure is aligned with the summer solstice sunrise - Esperance WA. The Station Stones are positioned on this line to allow the sun rays to pass through to the Altar. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year (December 22). The sunset on the winter solstice (June 21) is the same line as the Summer Solstice Sunrise.
We missed it by that much!!

Les' Ranger is a blip up that road where we are camped - I'm taking the photo from up the hill

This is Thistle Cove - I walked from here to Lucky Bay (originally planned to do a return trip but 3 hours seemed too long - turns out I did it in 45mins & could easily have retraced my steps - trouble is I couldn't change my plans with Les - no mobile reception)
Lucky Bay - beautiful turquoise water
Matthew Flinders named this 215 years ago on his circumnavigation of Australia
We drove along the beach towards Esperance
They claim to have the whitest sand in Australia
this photo is when we were on our way back
Les went fishing at Hellfire Bay & got lucky
this is a beautiful salmon & will feed us for a few meals
