Out and about in Hopetoun


 Here are a few things that caught our eye in Hopetoun.....

B1 and Maree looking for their anchor

Seals at dawn on.... that would be Seal Rock!

A weird jellyfish critter

Cat sandwich


B1 and Maree inspect the seals

We are now an object of interest

There is a war memorial in every town in Australia. This one is a little wonky maybe inspired by Pisa

They have road rage here too, even if it's of a slightly different sort

Vestige of the old town jetty from which whale oil and gold (from Ravensthorpe) was exported. There is evidence nearby of the railway track that serviced the jetty. Stone/rock ships ballast was used in the construction of the old and existing Hotel buildings. Canadian cedar was sourced from the whalers for construction too.


No kidding! Left a message but nobody home

One of the many locals taking in the spectacle

Mary Ann Haven Hopetoun is a lagoon, a bit like Guano Jetty, Pelsaert Group, Abrohlos

New Bistro that opened on the edge of town a couple of months ago



Hopetoun Fair - Saturday 11th Jan 2014




 Clowns on stilts, monocycles, zuzuvelas and drums. Hopey Market Day.

Delicious local produce - picked yesterday, what a treat!
