These interesting and unexpected experiences keep coming up in Perth.. is it the trip itself, or is it because I am actually in one spot for longer than a sleep in the tent.. So, if you have seen on my Facebook page about the group “Against the Grain”, you will know I met up with these amazing men who are organizing a journey on quad bikes to re-visit...
I made it to Perth! A long time goal achieved, and arriving successfully was a good feeling! Margaret River was very cold in the morning, clocking in at 1 degree when I left.. Like I said earlier, it didn’t do much for me, and I was VERY READY to just get myself to Perth. It was an amazing and exhausting 10 days.. set up as my test run before...
Not much accomplished today… after leaving Walpole, it was all forest. Forest, Forest and more Forest… love love love the fresh air!!! But! Deep dark windy curves all day long!! Very slow way to travel compared to the long straight roads I had gotten used to.. Wanted to check out Margaret River, had heard to much about it...
More rain.. and newly added wind! Each day is adding a little more and more challenge. Interesting how on the bike I really notice all the road surface changes.

The landscape changed so much during that ride.. however, it rained most of the day! See, I knew I had it lucky Nullabor day!! It was a new test of what Sherri Jo can do. Haven’t ridden much in the rain before, and now...
A hyped up day across the Nullabor… I have heard so much about this Nullabor place.. It’s flat, dry, no trees for days on end.. people die out there.. Make sure you take plenty of spare fuel and water. Out of that amazing Roadhouse dirt patch I camped on at Nundroo and nervously headed into the Nullabor zone.. I noticed while riding through...
Was a gorgeous day riding.. was warned not to stay at Nundroo, but Penong was too early to stop. I knew I had good weather and riding conditions, and wanted to take advantage of that. Pulled into Nundroo and totally understood the warning.. But! Beggars can’t be choosers when your goals are merely to get from one Roadhouse to the next!! Because it...
