Boranup Bunyips

Heading into the Boranup Forest
There was more than average grunting and gasping as Bruce Robinson led his group on the dirt road through the bunyip-infested Boranup Forest.

The rewards were a traffic-free two hour ride followed by respite at the Boranup Gallery coffee shop. The Boranup scones had obviously been made with steroids and the jam and cream explosion added  to the fuel burn. There was time for Doctor Tony to extract a  splinter or two from Kleber's fingers using a sharpened stainless steel spoke and a rubber mallet.

The ride from Hamelin Bay to Prevelly was one of the most peaceful and beautiful rides on tour. Although close to the chardonnay tourist mecca of Margaret River, Prevelly Park is a quiet camping spot and stopping off point for Cape to Cape walkers.


Day 10 - Augusta to Hamelin Bay

Tony Humphreys and Ann Wilson - Augusta coffee break
The weather man got it wrong. The thunderstorms, lightning and hail didn't eventuate but it was a heavy sky that bade us farewell for the 25 km rpedal to Hamelin Bay.

The night before in Augusta a few of us gave our tents a rest and booked rooms at the Backpackers or Augusta Motel. The saving grace was a tailwind to push us along the quiet back roads to Hamelin Bay.
