Just a short update this one as there isn't a lot to write about. Will hopefully be boarding the 'Indian Pacific' service from Perth tomorrow. 2659km and three nights later I will arrive in Adelaide and swap the 'Indian Pacific' for the shorter run of 'The Overland' service, a mere 828km to Melbourne. Bottom numbing stuff!
Once in Melbourne I will finally be united with the bike and I can get on my way and start providing a mobile buffet for all the flies in Australia. Seriously you can't stand still for more than a few seconds without a gaggle of flies making a 'bee-line' (aha!) for your ears, eyes and nose. I think I'll just take to wearing the bike helmet everywhere. Might get a few strange looks down the beach though.
Hi Christian, great to meet you on train, hope the trip wasn't as much a hardship as it was for us 3 we worked out after buying food it would have been cheaper by about $200 to take the Plane! hahahah still the flee bites off the floor were worth it!
ReplyDeleteYou can keep up with our less adventures trip at www.jgslater.co.uk good luck with the bike purchase…
