Before leaving home someone said that Broome to Perth was all down hill, am not sure that this is true. It certainly is all down wind. An other day of southerlies has meant that we have had to earn every kilometre travelled. Fortunately todays winds were not as strong as yesterdays and the ride a little shorter.
Stayed last night in the Geraldton Anglican Cathedral. An impressive and unusual building. All very comfortable though. Nice to have real showers after a rather difficult ride.
Left early again this morning to continue our ride south. Camping tonight on the beach at a place called Cliff Head (probably won't find it on the map). It is an idyllic, isolated camping spot, off the beaten track. (Not a grey nomad in sight). Surf is flat and cold so resisted a swim though a couple of the more adventurist one's did dip a toe in. Must say the destination certainly was worth the effort today. Not sure how Jim (team leader and organiser)
comes up with these terrific places to stay.
Faster group stopped for a photo at the big prawn at Dongara on our way south.
Camp site at Cliff Head
Three of the seven support vehicles.
Some stats:
43 people in total
5 food roadies, 3 "beep beep" roadies, and 35 riders.
7 vehicles with trailers.
lots of smiles and twice as many sore legs.
Looking forward to watching the sun set in the Indian Ocean this evening.
