Ah the bliss of waking up this morning dry !! As much as I feel so comfortable out in the bush, the past few days of rain have taken their toll on my body and MIND !! So had a hearty breakfast in the motel room, a gallon of coffee, and hit road, later than usual at 8am . Another border crossing today into New South Wales, and another 30 mins forward on the clocks ... now running 2 hours ahead of WA, so maybe this mornings’ leisurely start wasn’t quite so late !!!

Although it will be great to get to see Jas and Jo again, so the sooner I get there the better .. bring it on !! A bit of a back track this morning ( bloody hate that) but the quickest route to Esperance is via Bunbury. A journey of over 750 kms today took me through the mining areas of Collie, and out on to the vast paddocks of the lower wheat belt of the South West of ... read more

Plans are well under way for the next journey round this great paddock, this time on a Can-Am Spyder 3 wheel roadster, towing an Elite Sprinter camper triailer ...... read more
