I spent two days in Perth, staying with family and resting before hitting the road again.
I did get some time to explore the city in between servicing the bike, getting new tyres etc.
Perth is an odd mix of the older, big-country-town feeling, combined with the masses of new money coming in from mining.
There was a street art festival on while I was in town, which made for some interesting viewing.
And of course I hit the beach, on the Indian Ocean though, not the Pacific that I’m used to.
At the end of a few days I felt rested and recuperated, and the bike had fresh oil and tyres, ready to start the long journey back home.
