Only 80 Kim’s west of Esperance, there is Stokes Inlet which is the deepest inlet in WA and varies in depth from 2 to 13 m.  It was formed by ice carving out the ground about 15 million years ago.  There has been a lagoon here for 4000 years with a sand bar forming around this time.  It has quite a high sand bar and the earth if made up of limestone and crushed shells.

It is a great spot for fishing and bird watching.  The camp hosts are friendly and look after us very nicely.  Their names are Des and Tanya (Tuyet Nga).  Tanya took us to a big rock on the Young River where we caught 14 black bream.  Lots of fun and yummy for dinner with just a bit of lemon.

Birds: wedged tail eagle, great egret, pelican, grey fantail, Silvereye, Variegated Fairy- wren.
