Day 10 - the first day of the return journey

Amelia and I met up in Kings Park, which has a fantastic view overlooking Perth.  It was really sunny and just a little cool and it was a really great place to start the next big phase of our trip.

The view from Kings Park

We braved Perth traffic (which seems a little crazier than Melbourne's), and after one or two near misses and occasional wrong turns we made it to Fremantle for breakfast with Frank and Nicole.  We had a yummy breakfast with lots of good conversation.

Frank joined us on his bike for the first hour or so while we rode down the old coast road and then after a quick roadside goodbye, Amelia and I were off again for the next big adventure.

First stop was Bussleton for a much needed fish and chips lunch and rest at the pier.  It certainly looks like a 2km long pier but we couldn't tell really because it was closed.

THe sun setting into the sea

The goal was to get to Cape Leeuwin.  We made as far as Hamlin bay in time for the sun setting into the sea.  The riding was lots of fun, just the right sort of curvy roads.


Camped for the night in a national park campsite,  it was very peaceful.
