Exploring Hopetoun

Hopetoun is so pretty but a little bit blowy and in the mid 20's, a huge contrast to everyone at home who is sweltering in 40+ degrees.

Richard spent the night up and down checking that our annex wasn't going to blow away.

Today we went for a beautiful drive along the Southern Ocean Road to Starvation Bay to check out a campsite.

It's so pretty there and peaceful that we've decided to move on Tuesday to the Bay for a few days where the kids can fish off the beach and go squidding.

Starvation Bay's claim to fame is that it's where the Rabbit Proof Fence ends.

I have included some pics of the coastline... not even the overcast conditions can make the Southern Ocean look less inviting.
