Arrived in Perth today at about noon. The weather in Perth this afternoon is pretty foul. Squalls coming through frequently and a howling westerly blowing. It's got two days to clear up!
Driving across the Nullarbor we had great weather and nice westerlies blowing all the time. We hope that keeps up.
Roger's car really chewed the petrol with the head wind plus a weighty trailer with 5 bikes on top. We mostly needed to top up every 150km because we couldn't be sure of making 300km.
This was my first trip across towards the west and I have to say the trip was a great deal more interesting than I expected. Scenery was continuously changing and never got boring. Definitely have to come through again with time for sightseeing.
Having spent 4.5 days on the crossing most days were long, with the 3rd and 4th days being almost 1000k.
Caught up with Eric and Richard driving the bus at Merredin last night. They had started on Saturday, so we gained two days on them.
The attached photo shows gthe two cars travelling together at Nullarbor Roadhouse, showing the Nullarbor in the background.
Hi
ReplyDeleteIs that you leaning into the wind? I thought the whole idea was to RIDE your bikes - not tow them about the countryside!
Have fun
