Well, boredom has officially set in. The run across the outback is just allot of the same nothingness, with no variation in nothingness that would normally make the other nothingness stand out to some degree. To be fair, there are beaches that are readily accessible, but even those seem to be mostly without variation. With few exceptions (cliffs near Kalbarri, The Pinnacles, a McDonalds in Geraldton (I was struggling for a third one)), the Outback is best left...well...outback.
Perth. is with no doubt, an insanely beautiful city. Rivers, cleanliness, decent, although bland, architecture, all the modern conveniences, makes for a very inviting space to send a coupe of days. Compared to the Outback, where the cost of EVERYTHING is insanely inflated, Perth is a very livable area.
The time has come to say, "I am ready for this trip to end," and to some degree it's as if already has. It seems like I have made my way though all of the really cool and challenging places, and I just have miles ahead of me with noting great to see, or better stated, places that I have not already seen throughout my previous travels. Sydney, Vancouver, the American west, the The Pacific Coast Highway, the Grand Canyon, all have my footsteps implanted on them in one way or another. and do not hold the excite that a new place would.. Now it is just a matter of completing the trip, and the boredom of the Outback was the rude awakening that the trip is all but over.

Fantastic riding to be found on the eastern side of country with heaps of well preserved turn of the century gold rush towns and interesting history of that period.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I will be running across the south and then the east of the Country. I appreciate the advice and since I am a fan of history, I look forward to it.
