We toured a circuit to the west of Esperance, which covers a number of beautiful beaches. In this part of the world, beautiful beaches go on and on like Blue Haven Beach, Salmon Beach, Twilight Beach. The circuit took us by the Pink Lake, which is part of the water supply for Esperance. The reason for the word “pink” in the description is technical, associated with algal bloom and was not evident today.
On the tour we saw our third wind farm in the past three stops. Albany, we photographed. There were two turbines at Hopetoun. At Esperance, there are 14 turbines. It is clear that Western Power relies to a great extent on network support from wind power.
On this trip we at last we found a gallery which was both interesting and had content which was desirable. It was Cindy Poole's Section Art Gallery. Cindy works in glass, not manufacturing it, but moulding it in a furnace to make glass objects from bought sheet glass. She also hosts a great cup of coffee in her cafe.
We were ale to get into the museum in Esperance after lunch. This proved to be the best $5 I have spent since being here.
There were two historical displays which were very interesting to me. The first was a Stirling two arm bowl mixer. Cerutti's Bakery had one of these. It has been a long time since I have seen one. I never thought one of these would be a museum item.
The second was the SkyLab exhibition. From the look of the circuit board which I photographed, you can understand these astronauts were really brave to have to had relied on this. Though, I suppose it was state of the art 40 years ago.
The last issue for the day is a complaint. Adrienne wants to make an issue of what the owners of holiday units expect us to use to keep their unit clean. This is the dish cloth provided. A normal Chux cut into 6. !
