Day 26: Kalbarri to Northampton


Up early this morning as we have to pack our things up before Collis heads back into town by 7 am to give them all the briefing for todays ride before they head out. I'll stay behind here and will meet them out on the road later.

Collis arrived just as Jill was heading out so gave her a quick briefing before then making plunger coffee for the boys and then giving them the briefing. The group are really spread out today with a bit over an hour between Gareth and Jill with Jurgen in the middle. The scenery is quite spectacular at the moment as we are riding along the Indian Ocean with frequent glimpses of the water. Morning tea and lunch breaks were all pretty drawn out for us but then Gareth decided not to eat any lunch and just had a look around the penal colony before heading to our destination.

We were all in at Northampton by 2.30 pm and settled into the caravan park. After checking out all three hotels Jurgen decided he would rather cook himself so the other two joined him. Collis and I are sick of cooking so we decided to eat at the bottom hotel called the tavern. It has all these photos of bottoms over the bar as it is the bottom hotel. I ended up having the soup and Collis had the pork chops. The meal was huge but not cheap.

Apparently a small altercation occurred between the riders and another camper when Jill asked if he would turn his music down. Apparently not appreciated and he stormed off.
