We have some friends from long ago, Chris and Carol, whose house we lived in when we first arrived in Perth. They have lived in all sorts of different places around WA but have spent the last 10 years in Hopetoun - another beautiful, rugged, coastal town 50 kms off the main road. They bought the old post office building and have done a fantastic job of developing it into a place where you can sit on the deck and have a great filter coffee, walk through the small art gallery and have fun finding something to buy in their interesting gift shop. We popped in to say hi to them and have a cup of coffee but ended up sharing a lovely dinner together and staying the night in the driveway of The Deck.
We had a great time chatting about all that they had done. It is very difficult not to fall in love with the remoteness and beauty of the place and buy your very own holiday cottage!! Chris and Carol have a small cottage behind The Deck which they will rent out to family and friends ...so if you need a break at any time we can give you the details. It is an amazing part of the world to explore - remote beaches, The Fitzgerald National Park and, of course, The Deck!
