Leaving Port Lincoln we headed up the East side of the Eyre Peninsular passing by several dried up salt pans and eventually through to Whyalla where we stopped to fuel up and have a look at this WW2 Corvette which is on display next to the maritime museum 2km from the sea. Whyalla has a [...]

We were in Port Lincoln for two weeks and not only did we have a great time but we achieved a lot too. High on the agenda list was a wash and scrub up for us and all our gear. Being on the road makes you grubby there is no escaping that even with a [...]

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 [...]

Although we had gone into Freo (Freemantle) with Claire and Dave and looked around the markets there was still a lot more to see. Freemantle was the place where the first British expedition landed in 1829 to create the new Swan River Colony the start of modern day Perth. We headed to the shipwreck museum [...]

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. It was worth the effort as they are quite spectacular, the flies were shocking though hence the reason for the head nets. The limestone columns rise eerily out [...]
