Blog 200 Esperance and the Nullarbor Plain 13th – 21st Jan 2012

We had a strong headwind and really buggy ride from Ongarup to Esperance as our oil cooler showed, fortunately the screen kept them off of us. Every now and again one would hit me on the leg which hurt so I tucked my legs in tighter, then I heard “Ow ! What was that? Ow [...]

Blog 194 More from Perth to 8th Dec 2011

Due to our slightly different route into Perth we missed the Pinnacles in Nambung national park so we rode back out to take a look at them.
