esperance / kepa kurl isn't merely a picturesque scene with impeccably manicured lawns; it's a landscape where the untamed beauty of native flora and fauna intertwines with the stubborn resilience of weeds and the whispering echoes of dieback. our sense of 'place' is more than just the sandy shores or the playful antics of lucky bay's kangaroos. rather, it's grounded in the earth beneath our feet, in the salty air that embraces us as we reluctantly depart its coastal embrace. my newfound sense of peace has washed over me quite naturally. like many others, this simplicity and the epitome of well-being have encouraged me to strike a balance and stick around.
