A good day for travelling today – travelling back through time that is. We decided to air our inner paganism and visit Australia’s answer to Stonehenge.
Just out of Esperance in a farmer’s paddock, is an exact replica of what the original Stonehenge would have looked like in 1950 BC with 137 stones quarried from across the road. Apparently it was originally made for someone in Bunbury but they went broke so the farmer across the road from the quarry bought it and set it up in the paddock.
Esperance Stonehenge is an amazing sight and the acoustics inside the ring just echos as well. We were lucky enough to have it for ourselves but it can fill up with cruise ships sending 500 people in a day. Of course if you want to own it, then you are in luck with the property up for sale for the paltry price of $5 million.
The rest of the day was spent doing some geocaching as we motored to our digs for the day at the Big 4 Middleton Beach Holiday Park. As usual, we arrived after dark – still need to work on this grey nomad travel thing.
