THE CONDINGUP LOOP
Lucky Bay, Cape Le Grand National Park, Credit: Sean Scott
One of the biggest drawcards for visitors to Esperance is the fact that the region is located in one of the last remaining environmental wonders of the world. The region abounds with wonderful national parks, beaches, wildlife and fantastic Western Australian fauna. Experience a great day trip by taking the Merivale Road and heading to Cape Le Grand National Park. Visit the Esperance Stonehenge on the way. Your drive east will endear you to the region, as you will see natural beauty that can only be imagined. Cape Le Grand is reputed to have some of the best beaches in the world and is easily accessible by 2WD vehicles. Lucky Bay has been scientifically proven the whitest beach in Australia by the CSIRO. From Cape Le Grand, drive up to Fisheries Road (via Tyrell Road) then head east to Condingup, where you will find the Condingup Vineyard and the Condingup Tavern, both well worth a visit. The history of Fisheries Road is quite interesting, as it was only made in 1956 and was cut in to provide easier and more direct access for transporting salmon. The salmon was planned to be netted at Israelite
Bay and then transported to a cannery that was built on the edge of Esperance. Although the cannery was never really used, the building remains today as the Esperance Cannery Arts Centre.

From Condingup, drive all the way down Orleans Bay Road. The area is virtually untouched and well worth a visit. If you have a 4WD you can drive right up to the water’s edge. Driving back up to Condingup you can either come back to Esperance or continue east to Cape Arid National Park to experience nature at its best with wide sandy beaches and clear waters. Whale watching from the beach is a must, commencing from around June each year until early Summer. This part of Australia is well sought after by 4WD drivers (check road conditions before heading out). You can even drive out and onto the beach. Make sure to plan ahead when travelling to remote areas.

The Esperance region is renowned for its pristine coastline and marvellous rugged landscape, waiting to be explored. It’s an untouched paradise for nature lovers and the adventurous. The Esperance region offers great fishing for fishing enthusiasts wanting to haul in an impressive catch. Fish species that one can expect to catch here include salmon, salmon trout, gummy shark, flathead, herring, skippy, sand whiting, snook, gardie and groper. Cape Le Grand, Wharton Beach, Duke of Orleans Bay, Alexander Bay, Cape Arid and Point Malcolm are just some of the hot spots to fish, or just drop a line off the jetty. Rock fishing is particularly popular in the region; however, there are risks involved with this activity. Be sure to visit https://esperancecoastalsafety. com.au for safety guidelines if you’re planning on rock fishing.
Alternatively, drop into the Esperance Visitor Centre for more information on fishing in the region.

A drop of water is more your scene? Hit the surf at West Beach or Fourths. Or if you’re looking for some calmer water, paddle the kayak along Castletown Quays or Bandy Creek. Pull on your hiking boots and tackle the treks along the Cape Le Grand coast or head inland for the likes of Peak Charles and Lake Monjingup Reserve. Or if you’re looking for a faster way to travel, ride your bike along the foreshore or cruise around the Great Ocean Drive.

HISTORY OF ESPERANCE
During a gale in 1792, two French frigates on a mapping voyage of the Australian coast, took shelter off Observatory Point. The first ship to enter the bay was L’Esperance and so the bay was named. The archipelago was named after the second ship, Recherche. Another early visitor to the area was Matthew Flinders, who anchored at Lucky Bay in 1802 during his voyage to chart the southern coast. He named several landmarks including Thistle Cove. In 1841, Edward John Eyre met Captain Rossiter on his epic journey from Adelaide, aboard the French Whaler ‘Mississippi’ in a bay which later became known as Rossiter Bay. Middle Island, visited by Flinders in 1802, was later established as a base for sealers operating in the area. The year 1863 saw the arrival of the first settlers, the Dempster brothers, who travelled overland from Northam with their families. The Dempster brothers drove sheep, cattle and horses from Northam to Esperance to take up the first land holding. Andrew Dempster was granted a lease of 100,000 acres in 1866. With discovery of gold in Dundas, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie, Esperance began an incredible transformation in 1895. Fortune seekers from Australia and around

the world began to flood into this sleepy little port on their way to the Goldfields. By 1897, there were two newspapers, one brewery and four hotels. There were many rows of tents and the less fortunate slept on seaweed on the beach. Development hopes next centred on farming the mallee country. Could this be made into a prosperous wheatbelt? Land was opened for selection in 1912 and nearly 60 farms were started. Progress was slow and hindered by severe drought in 1914/15. The next year, Professor John Patterson reported “... one half of the area contains too much salt for profitable farming”. The town, however, attracted enormous publicity in the early 1960s when American investors established large landholdings in the area. The success of their farming methods caused an influx of new farmers from all parts of Australia. This helped make Esperance the prosperous town it is today.
