Today’s destination would be Albany. On the way I stopped in Pembroke, which has the worlds 2nd highest fire lookout tree, 58mtrs. I made it up 7 steps and my thighs started to burn. Time to get back on the bike. A bit of a ride around Albany and I found the Backpackers which came …

Day 32 – 34
I left Perth and went south, in absolute pouring rain. I was soaked though, and freezing. I could ride no more after 4 hrs and ended up in Dunsborough at Occy’s. This place wins the friendliest most welcoming pub in Australia. Fed me warm pumpkin soup with big chunks of bread and let me spead …
Day 29 – 31
Arrived in Perth and had travelled 10,400 k’s. I had a few friend options for accommodation and the bike service booked in for the next day. The tyres had run well, with a few thousand left on them but the time to change them was now. The guys at Dale Britton Motorcycles, Victoria Park, including …
Day 28
I woke to a cold morning and rain on the forecast. I’d ridden back in to winter. Perth was my next destination and stop for a few days, about 850k’s. I reached Geraldton and the drizzle started. I pushed on another 60k’ and I was welcomed at the Dongara Hotel.
Day 26 – 27
Early start to get to Denham, which is near Monkey Mia. It is also the most westerly point of Australia. I reached Denham after a 10 hr day. It is much cheaper to stay here than at Monkey Mia. I found the info I needed for the dolphins at Monkey Mia. The night was my …
Day 25
Next planned stop is Monkey Mia, about 1200k’s. Karratha was first fuel. At the servo I saw a sign saying 20k’s to Dampier on the coast. I thought that could be a lunch stop so headed there. A sea-food lunch in a waterfront pub followed by a walk along the bay, It’s a relaxed water …
Day 24
Today’s destination is Port Hedland, about 765k’s and there doesn’t appear to be much in between. This 1st stretch to Sandfire Roadhouse is 2nd longest between fuel pumps for the whole trip, about 290k’s. I arrived in Port Hedland and entered a busy workers town. This is no tourist mecca. It is a busy port …
Day 23
Day 21 – 22
This morning I was off to Broome which was only 220k’s. I’d heard of Cable Beach before so followed the signs to there. The caravan park was full. Couldn’t even fit 1 motorbike and a skinny little tent. This whole area is screaming tourism with ocean front resorts and restaurants.. I rode around for a …
Day 19 – 20
There is nothing out here. Just red soil and rock. A couple of people along the way had recommended not to stay at Fitzroy Crossing which was about 650k’s, as the locals could take a liking to what’s not their’s. I planned on trying to get as far as Broome which was just over 1000k’s. …
