Dunsborough

Dunsborough is on the western end of Geographe Bay, Bustleton is at the Eastern end.
It is a magnificent shallow bay with holiday resorts all the way along accessing the beach.
Dunsborough is very orderly, tidy and wealthy looking .....the Terrigal+ of  WA.
Lots of classy clothes shops and trendy cafes.
Everywhere was very busy.....all the accommodation is full as there is an Iron Man competition on over the weekend.
A lovely sunny day.....horray!

Yalata

Another 500km across mostly treeless plains today. We are using our drums of diesel careful to avoid the highest prices across the Nullarbor...up to $2.22 a litre. We know when a Roadhouse is approaching as we can see the communications tower from 5 km away....nice to have some reception for a short time. Each Roadhouse has a golf hole....no real fairway but fancy artificial grass for the greens. Stopped at Yalata an Aboriginal Community....they are part of the tribe moved from the Maralinga Region to allow the bomb testing to go ahead...they are now spread over a wide area. The community itself is closed due to Covid risk. The caravan park has only been open for 5 months with brand new facilities and a very cherpy chatty manager.

We have stopped half way to Albany. It has been a very very windy day...hot wind to begin with. We stopped at Ravensthorpe for lunch and it sounded like the roof was going to blow off! Silo art of local banksias....many of which were growing in the main Street. As we drove further it began to pour with rain and it got very cold.....decided to call it a day at Jerramungup.......everything is something up here.

Ten Mile Brook Dam

We had the caravan serviced this morning...brakes, bearings, lights etc all greased, cleaned and checked. He found that the valves on our tyres need replacing as they are all cracked...so we need to find a tyre place. Rode our bikes along the track to the dam. The track started wide and a good surface but as we went along it got narrower and became a mountain bike track.....we rode through big mud patches, large water pools, over rocks and stumps, under a fallen tree and managed not to fall off as we rode over thousands of very large round eucalypt seed pods. We went past a turn to an alternate winter track but continued on the "summer" track. It continued up and down until we ended up at a deep water crossing with the water flowing very fast and a sign saying...do not cross. We did not cross and did not get to the dam. Never mind....it was a new riding experience and we emerged unscathed.
