Perth and the South west

Sunday 26/10/08 Cervantes to Perth
Cruisy morning, breakfast at a cafe on the beach, before setting off to the Pinnacles NP..
Great little NP, rode around taking pictures, would be great in the evening light !
Stayed about an hour and then headed off to Perth.
Arrived at Danny's place about 3, a beautiful 5 acre property about 40 kms from town in Mundaring.
Chilled out with a few beers before going out to dinner at a lovely old local pub, then back for a spa.
Very cruisy day.
Monday 27/10/08 -Danny's place
Planned to have a day working on the bikes, andDanny tookthe day off to help, brilliant.
Changed chain and sprockets, and Danny found an issue with the carbies,which we disassembled and fixed.
Never spent so much timeon the bike !
Ended up with a late afternoon ride to the weir and a couple of beeers at the weir pub.
Life is beautiful.
Tuesday 28/10/08 - Perth - Hamelin bay
Left Danny's at about 9 and took the inland road to Bunbury. Country was very lush and the cows fat.
We understood why shortly as the rain started to come down.
Cleared up by the time we reached Busselton, then on to Dunsborough and the beautiful Caves road running down the Margaret River coast.
Camped at Hamelin Bay, a beautiful NP 16kms short of Augusta,set up, made a massive fire and then the drizzle started. Met a couple of German travellers,who kindly cooked us dinner, a welcome break from our camping standard- 2 minute noodles ! Good night playing some german game
