Hopetoun is locateded only 2.5 hours out of Esperance along the white sands & rocky foreshores of Mary Ann Harbour.
Hopetoun has been increaslingly labelled as a popular 'stress free' destination with nothing to do but swim, walk & admire the scenery. Visitors can watch the passing whales, seals & dolphins venturing along the largely untouched coastline, known to many as the most beautiful stretch of coastline in Australia.
Kalgoorlie/Boulder
The towns of Kalgoorlie and Boulder were born during the gold rush fever of the 1880’s. Still an operating gold town, visitors can choose to watch the action up close from the Super Pit lookout. If you look closely you can still see the many underground tunnels that early gold miners created in their hunt for the precious yellow metal.
Take a wander down historic Hannan Street. The wide streets and nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings transport visitors back to an era gone by.
