Now inland at the Stirling Range National Park

---

Hi all
We have now headed north and inland after enjoying exploring around Albany. We saw lots more nice beaches, and walked in quite a few more national parks. Albany is hosting the Ulysses Motorbike Club's Australian AGM this week, with about 4000 riders attending with their immaculate bikes. Lots have trailers they tow, that fold out to a tent, there are sidecars and trikes and bikes of all colours and types. Lots of men with grey beards too!
After exploring the coast both ways from Albany, we came north and drove through Porongurup National Park one day. Today we came further north to the Stirling National Park and have a campsite near to Bluff Knoll, southern WA's tallest mountain at 1095 meters. We climbed part of the 4 hour track today, but it was just too hot to go all the way this afternoon - need to do it first thing in the morning.
Tomorrow we will head to Wave Rock, then we will make our way back down to the coast to continue east.
I know some of you that have been in this area are enjoying the photos . We find it a lovely part of the country too.
Regards Lynne

You are making Steve and I so jealous, we saw those bikes coming across the nullabour one year they are terrific and they can pack well we could not believe how much they put into those little trailers. You have found some wonderful places. Keep traveling safe love from us x
