Norseman…Today's destination. Only 200 ks and dead straight basically. Bikes were packed and loaded by 8.00. Breakfast eaten and hit the road. Got fuel and took a few pics of the coast near the pier. Or jetty as they are called here. Esperance didn't put as much cash into their jetty and it was relatively short. They worked on their gardens instead. Very impressive and manicured. We headed towards Norseman and had our first stop at Salmon Gums. Appa...

Today was going to be a big ride. Not so much for us but for Shirl who had completed a couple of high 300 - 400 k rides over the last few days. This was a 500 k ride and it was going to be warm as well. So off we headed and was had been a previous great ride suddenly got very boring. Straight roads with very minimal scenery. Our hope was that this wasn't going to be the case all the way to Esperance. We already had breakfast at Albany so it was straight i...

The road soon got interesting with the opportunity to actually wear the sides a bit. A bit of twist on the throttle was in order to maximise the lean required to sever the flat edges off the tyre. A bit of fun too. A bit awkward though when you are carrying your house on you...

Today was the day we say goodbye to Perth and the generosity of my Sis who took us out for dinner several times as well as drove us all over the place. Still though we were eager to start some ks again on the bikes before too much rust set in. After having sent two big bags of luggage home one would think I would reduce the size of packing on my bike. This was not to be. She seemed to have little room left again and looked no different from before. Johny had ...

Our last day of touring the Perth area brought us to beautiful Freemantle. When you go to places like this you actually wonder what the hell are doing in Victoria with our beaches. This place is laid out to perfection. Serena drove us down there and we met up with her friend Alsiha who lived down that way some time ago. We spent a lunch at Little Creatures Brewery. Hence Shirl smashing a cold beer in the pic. Shirl arrived on a flight yesterday and was goin...
