Exmouth -Overlander Roadhouse Friday 24/10/08
Left Exmouth early and rode steady down to Carnarvon. Stopped for a coffee and realised in the space of 200kmswe had left the hardcore outback and now were back in civilisation, drinking water from the tap, capuccino, normal prices, mobile phone reception. Not an altogether welcome change.
Last ride from Wooramel to Overlander was gorgeous, through the late afternoon light, wildflowers a plenty,open country, fastride. 540 kms today
Saturday 25/10/08 Overlander to Cervantes
Decided last night not to go to Monkey Mia, number of people travelling through had told us it had become very commercial and orderly .80 people waiting on the beach for the dolphins to come in, parralels were being drawn with seaworld.
Beautiful ride south,masses of wild flowers and plenty of emus on the road to Northampton, but it's also turned cold - 20 c, I'm missing the heat of the Kimberley,where was drinking 2 litres every 100kms.
Stopped in Northampton for a coffee,nice town very rural.50 kmson and we get to Geralton, great lunch at Bella Vista cafe.
Another 200kms to Cervantes, nice fast ride down quiet coastal roads, with views across the ocean. Set up and went out for a few beers and fishand chips, a lovely day.
