More UPs, more farmland (Boyup Brook, Australia)

Journal entry for Sunday 1st Jun, 2025 (day 17, miles 277)

Today there were more names ending in "...up", more farmland and more interesting stands of trees. Though I neglected to photograph the farmland and trees.

Farmland Green (Jerramungup, Australia)

Journal entry for Saturday 31st May, 2025 (day 15, miles 207)

A quick look around Esperence this morning before getting underway. The beach front is the crown jewel of this town and the weather went out of its way to give me a fine view.

Telstra problems (Esperence, Australia)

Journal entry for Friday 30th May, 2025 (day 15, miles 207)

Not much to say about today. Over the past few days Nina and I have been having communication problems with our phones. Along the Eyre highway there is supposed to be almost continuous Telstra 4G coverage, but the Telstra account on my phone has not been connecting. However my T-Mobile account (US based) will connect and shows that it is connecting to the Telstra network. So I think it is an account problem.

90 Miles dead straight (Noreseman Hotel, Australia)

Journal entry for Thursday 29th May, 2025 (day 14, miles 442)

The first photo in todays record is of the motel building at Cocklebiddy Roadhouse. The photo was taken at around 8:00 local time (1 hour and 15 minutes behind Sydney) as I was captured by the quality of the light. Interestingly the bike was quite wet from dew overnight.

High winds and rain (almost no dust) (Cocklebiddy, Australia)

Journal entry for Wednesday 28th May, 2025 (day 13, miles 389)

I have travelled a long way west since the start of this trip and hence my body clock is a little out of sync with the sun. I also try to touch base with Nina at the start of the day via satellite communicator. Between these two factors I was awake very early this morning, well before the sun. As a reward I got to watch the changing light as the day emerged in the east. It also meant I was underway early, 7:30am (South Australian Time).
