After a restless night at Donnybrook Transit Park (continual heavy traffic through town) ๐ช I pack up and head briefly onto the South Western Highway. Unfortunately, for Donnybrook there’s no bypass ๐ฃ๏ธ So the South Western Highway is that, a main highway for heavy haulage right through the centre of town. It doesn’t stop! As with most towns I’ve cycled through in Aus,…
As the weather had taken a slight turn for the worst at Karta Burnu (slight drizzle!) ๐ง๏ธ I took the opportunity to have a couple of rest days. It’s a lovely place as very quiet and good memories from last year! As with any time here, its customary for me to make myself a brew with wild Fennel. With it you get the aniseed taste and add a tea spoon of sugar, it’s a extremely good brew. Fennel โ is widely cultivated, both in its…

I’m back on the start line for the Munda Biddi Trail … again!

What is the Munda Biddi Trail I arrive in Albany ๐๏ธ Pronounced โAlbanyโ in Australia but itโs pronounced โAllbanyโ where I come from! Or itโs merely how I pronounce it! Anyway,…
Every journey starts with the normal ritual of cleaning the bike, dismantling it, packing it and always thinking what a fracking palaver! Saying to myself, Iโm getting on a ferry ๐ข next time! Then into the back of a taxi to the coach ๐ข. With the coach driver, itโs hit-n-miss whether they charge you…
