Esperance
Esperance is remote. It is more than 700km from Perth, 500km from Albany and a four-hour drive from Kalgoorlie. Given its location it is surprising that Esperance would be such a popular tourist destination but then maybe it’s the beautiful beaches and top diving sites and the fact that in Australia’s largest state, a 700km drive isn’t considered all that long.
