The Esperance Promise

While travelling in Esperance—Kepa Kurl country, I promise to embrace the elements of this land and ensure my visit is sustainable and respectful.

I will enjoy following paths less trodden, yet, I will stay on the marked trails.

Camping under the stars will be a wonder, enjoyed from designated camp areas.

Wildlife will remain wild, never fed or touched by human hands.

I will feel the wind on my face, and swim in the cool sea. Leaving only footprints in the sand.

Walking on the earth will ground me. Boots scrubbed clean, to stop the spread of weeds and disease.

When embarking on a 4WD adventure, I promise to be prepared and respectful of others.

I will admire the power of the ocean, being mindful of swell, rips, and slippery black rocks.

I will feel the sun on my back or the warmth of a campfire, never forgetting to be bushfire smart.

Time away from technology’s range will recharge me. Yet, I will plan to have no coverage.

Where locals live in their element and visitors feel like locals. I agree to be kind, take it slow and go with the flow.

I make this promise with nature and the community of Esperance. To care for this special place that you call home.

The Shire of Esperance acknowledges the Kepa Kurl Wudjari people of the Nyungar nation and Ngadju people who are the Traditional custodians of this land and their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and we extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians today.
