Day 2: Mandurah to Bunbury

Well the first night in the tents went quite well for most. Not sure Sheila and Norm would have had a good night as they slept in the back of their ute but Sheila didn’t want the back down so poor old Norm couldn’t stretch out his legs throughout the night. It was a really cold morning this morning but we will have to get used to them as this is what we will be having most of the way.

Everybody was up, tents down and on their bikes by around 8.15 am which wasn’t bad as we are aiming for 8 am starts on this leg.Collis and I are back into the packing up routine after such a small group last leg but we have found we can fit just about all luggage into the trailer. This group have been very good with their luggage limits. With this as the case then we don’t have to strip our bed and roll it up each morning- we make the bed and then fold it in half. So much easier.

Doug and Di were the first bro head out this morning as I don’t think Doug is wanting a repeat of Di getting lost again too soon. Doug and Di both fell off their bikes just over a week ago and Di is still suffering from her injuries. She is finding it easier to ride the bike than it is to walk. I will have to keep an eye on her though- she is trying to hide her pain at the moment.

Beautiful day fro riding again. Crisp clear morning leading into a mild sunny afternoon. Our stop today was at Bunnigup Beach which was just absolutely superb. It was very popular with the tourists and there were even people out there swimming and paddle boarding. We could see Bunbury in the distance.


We arrived early afternoon in Bunbury and Sheila led them in. Nice looking caravan park but they have put us against the fence near the road, so it wasn’t the greatest spot but close to the camp kitchen and the ablutions block. Collis and I did a BBQ for the riders and Sheila & Norm before leaving the group and staying the night at Sheila’s home.
