When I first decided to cycle across Australia people said, "you can't cycle across the Nullarbor". I told them thats the bit that I most wanted to cycle. Thats the challenge, either side of it is the ornamental bookends. The Eyre highway runs across the Nullarbor, which means treeless plain as there is nothing, nout, nada. As well as being the largest piece of limestone on earth it also contains the 2nd longest straight road in the world. From Norseman to Cedu...

Day 18, Esperance to Salmon Gums, 109km. Day 19, Salmon Gums to Norseman, 98km. So after a short two day hop North I have reached Norseman an old gold town town which has seen better days. The ride North from Esperance was pretty uneventful, the only thing of interest was when I noticed another cyclist fast approaching in my mirror. I had been told by some people at Esperance YHA that they had met a cyclist further back and that he was cycling round the world....

Day 12, Jerramungup to Ravensthorpe, 115km. Day 13, rest day (bad weather) Day 14, Ravensthorpe to Munglinup, 80km. Day 15, Munglinup to Esperance, 108km. Sorry for the pause folks. It's been a tough week and I couldn't find the will power to write a blog but I'm back now with lots to tell you. Departing Jerramungup, after a short 80km the day before, I had 114km to complete to reach Ravensthorpe. After leaving the campsite and heading straight into some c...

Day 10- Albany to Pallinup River, 119km. Day 11- Pallinup River to Jerramungup, 65km. So with 75psi in my tires, oil on my chain and sporting a trendy new haircut I left Albany after a rest day. I found a coastal path which took me out of Albany whilst giving me some amazing views of the sun rising over the see. I was stopping every ten metres to take photos, so the morning was slow work but pretty enjoyable. After rejoining the highway I started to see kangar...

Day 7, Mount Barker to Albany, 50km So after my tiring day yesterday I knew I could take it a bit slower today. I pitched up in the nicest campsite I have stayed in so far. The grass was so lush and thick that you didn't need a camping matt, natures cushion was good enough. I had set my alarm for 9am but found myself coming to around 6am, bloody body clock! I woke up and sat making breakfast in the outdoor camp kitchen. As soon as I opened my food bag I got acc...
