After 7 months on the road I decided to take a little holiday from my holidays. A french girl that I met in Exmouth was nice enough to offer me a place to stay at the BnB she was running while the owners were away. So instead of flying back to Cairns I flew down to Perth and hired a car for the week. The first day was spent in Perth catching up with friends and just relaxing. on The saturday I went to the Swan Valley with Courtey (Max - an old school friend), hi...

Leg 2: Landed in Geraldton on thursday night. Jumped in a cab at the airport and drove over to the construction yard where I left my car.
