The town of Ravensthorpe is home of the largest free standing lollipop in the world!! At Yummylicious Candy Shack.
It has an assortment of lollies that reminded me of some of the lollies we had as kids. Of course we had to buy a few. And some lollipops for the grandkids, I’m sure the parents will thank me 😂 They also have 15 flavours of ice cream.
Ravensthorpe is also know for its ‘Farm Gate Art Trail’’. Apparently the project currently has 32 locations. These fabulous sculptures, mainly crafted from farm scrap metal, are themed around local wildflowers and dotted around the country side. We came across a few on the way to Hopetoun.
Hopetoun is back on the coast and has that beach town vibe. Relax, chill and take in the beautiful water. Again the weather was not in our favour with overcast skies and rain.
We stayed a few nights at the free RV camping area, a short walk into town with easy beach access. You have to be self contained, it does have some bins.
Another cool bit of art work in a front yard.
Live Long and Prosper.🖖🏿
