Day 4 and time to leave the golden beaches, calm town and warm waters of Esperance for the sun scorched outback, lacking everything except flies and annoyance.

I awoke early and peaked out the window, a red dot rising above the sea was a nice sight to see, but I fell asleep too soon to take a picture of it.

5 bits of bird crap featured on the van in the morning, clearly the blue, green and orange machine was a morning target for the seagulls. Also a strange hybrid breed of wasp/fly decided I was a good target for morning stinging, repetitively. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

This is a sponsored post for this Travel Articles directory.

A1 Articles is a directory website and I’ve been asked to review their travel section. I’m not a big user of directories, so this format is a bit new to me.

There is definitely a mix of articles, leisure is a big part such as hotel reviews, golf breaks, winter sun, car rental, that sort of thing. However there is also some more interesting stuff like how to photograph wildlife, scenic drives whilst on holiday, activities to do when in XXX, etc.

With over 29 pages, displaying 15 posts per page, it won’t be long until there is over 500 articles in the travel section, so it’s a great place to search if you are after tips for your travel plans.
