Destination today is Eucla. More of the Nullarbor. Our friend in the plane was good enough to awaken me at 5 past 4 am. To top things of these places from Cocklebiddy through to the SA border choose to invent their own time zone. Apparently its 40 minutes ahead of Perth. This stuffs us up a bit and we constantly are trying to work out what time it is. My GPS has one time. My bike dash shows Perth time and my PC shows Vic time. The alarm setting takes s...

The time to start heading east has arrived. The Nullarbor which is deemed the most interesting ride in the world. We filled up at the Caltex near our camp and the price was fairly expected. It is funny how the road suddenly becomes just a drive when you know where you are heading. If I was to do a comparison I would say the Nullarbor was very green and full of flora but heading through central NSW the road was like being in the middle of the dead lands. As...

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...

So we left Margaret River with just a coffee for a kick off. Pretty bad sleep as people at the unit opposite decided to have a party until 1.30 am. Our destination today was to Albany. 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...
