Who said the tyres would go around Australia?

Nearly did not get out of Perenjori as Pete pointed out how badly the rear tyre was worn and explained that it could only go so far....I was going to kalgoorlie to buy a new tyre! Rode to Perth with Pete checking at the rear constantly the progression of the canvas....made it. Thanks Pete for organising new tyres front and back at a good price! Let see if Michelin are doing better than the old Metzler. Keep in touch...

Hell in Perenjori

not sure How I got the idea to mosaic the concrete table at the Caravan Park. What was to be a community project involving the locals ended being a flowery nightmare!
Looks like I was going to be in this farming hole till Christmas trying to finish on my own, with little local help. everyday was me and the millions of flies...and they did not do much except piss me off! Pete (from Geralton Odyssey)came to my rescue on his CBR black bird. Thanks God for that! In no time the bloody table was covered in wonderful flowers; we even managed to give a nice look to the seats with left over tiles. It is a free job...but the Shire believes I am Murdoch's daughter travelling on a motorbike doing charity work for the wheat farmers as they haven't reimburse me for the materials yet!

Wild flower country

This year wild flowers are spectacular in WA thanks to good rainfalls. The rare 'wreath' are plentiful....

WA Odyssey

250 bikes turned up from all over WA,only one from interstate, the one from Cairns...
big responsability laying on my shoulder when I was asked to do a skit to represent the rest of Australia club. Fortunately I met Pet and Col from Mandurah (see photo) and we joined forces to prepare a winning skit that blew the odience away. First time I sang a song written in a few hours in front of such a large enthousiastic group. Great week-end meeting lots of new people.

Broome to Geralton

Left Broome, very hot, long distances between fuel stops, glad to have a spare jerrican. Very windy and cold around Exmouth. Stayed at billi's place (see Harley) for a few days. survived the red back spiders and reset my luggage for better management of bike. Sent away my boots and the rear seat cover....
On the way to Hamelin Pool , first rain since i left Cairns! Loved to see the fascinating stromatolites...camped there for the night. great camp kitchen.
Too windy to go to Monkey Mia, rode to Geralton. Met Ian from Ulysses and decided to attend the WA Odyssey.
