I enjoyed a long coffee at a cafe before I left town.

There were a few small hills today. It was a good riding day. Sunny and mild. The heavily forested sections shaded me from getting too hot.

I had to look it up. It's a pheromone trap to catch moths. I don't know why they want to catch moths.

I had a salad roll in the sunshine here. It was very peaceful.

I had a fast downhill and then a steep uphill into town.

These are a few thousand gnomes on the way into the caravan park.

The park was empty of people with a sign up saying to find a site and they will catch up with us later.

I chose a grassy site next to some kangaroos.

Later, the caretaker came by and charged me $20 for the powered site.

Neil came by after too. He is riding north to south. Last year he rode it in the opposite direction. What a champion! We later had a beer together in the pub.

These two young magpies were playing tugowar with a small stick. It was very entertaining.

The caretaker said I could have a fire and there was a small supply of wood.

Today's ride: 44 km (27 miles)
Total: 5,333 km (3,312 miles)

Rita McCarthyWe enjoyed staying at Quinninup. Picked some lovely blackberries there. Probably wrong season for you to pick some.
