Continuing on from last weekends exploration of WAs best natural features, Burgo and I thought we’d go for a swim and discover our best beaches and bays. Enjoy the audio below which will take you from Esperance to Broome and beaches that are beautiful, quirky and a bit nostalgic.

Burgo and I discovered beaches, caves, rocks, beaches, ancient life forms, valleys of giants and a lot more as we explored the natural attractions of Western Australia. Enjoy our discussion in the audio below and a few examples in pics.

On 6PR Weekend Wrap Up, I found myself sharing the airwaves with John Burgess, an icon of Australian television and radio. A tv game show host legend and a radio dj when dj’s were gods of the airwaves. It was very cool to laugh our way through stories about sports tourism. From callers with tales…
