Riding more dirt than bitume and ended up in Perth yesterday. I will spend two day here and then heading more north. Had one road challenge when a road were closed and i don't like to go back 30 Km. 3rd night under the stars with millions flies and mosquitoes. "that the disadvantage of solo camping, all flies and mosquitoes have to feed on ON person." Went to a Cave near Wave Rock and there is this Aboriginal "GRAFFITI". Even this is nothing new.

After a good night sleep I woke up in the west coast morning fog. Since I didn't use the tent, the sleeping bag got moist and I had to wait for it to dry. Heading north and then inland from Geraldton. Today the Pinnacle park pictures and sometimes I question myself, are I am in BAJA or in OZ. Sitting on the beach for lunch I feel that someone is watching me.

Just had Breakfast and sitting here to plan the route for today. The Bugs, Grasshopper and Fly's are "UNBELIEVABLE" Did some 250-300Km dirt yesterday and will ad 200 on it today. I will ride from Cue to Mt. Magnet around a Gemstone mine. In Mt. Magnet I will ask for the road condition to Menzies and see if there is GAS available. This would be the limit with 500Km dirt. So far everything is fine, I can sleep till 8AM and go to bed early.

I am still alive. After some days of silence, I am Back. Did some more dirt, Spend one night on the "LAKE Ballard" more dirt from Leinster to Kalgoorlie. Here I did some service on the bike and sightseeing. I went to a MX and Speedway race. This is the biggest GOLD mine in QZ.

I think I have it under control. After restarting 20 times the PC, it looks like it’s working again.

The last 5 day I spend riding from Leister-  Leonora- Menzis - Kalgoorli – Laverton- Uluru, 1800Km Dirt. I have to say the last section (210Km) is the hardest on this trip yet. Like riding Glamis dunes for 210 Km and loaded. I survived, never laid the bike down, had 3-4 almost moment, but with a downshift to 3rd and a twist on the throttle and I digit my way thru. Now 2 days rest here and then thru the MACDONALD Range to Alice Spring where I hope to get a new Chain set.

Enjoy the Pictures
