Adelaide and WA Fever Tour 2014
Part 5 - WA Road Post-game - The South West:
Saturday morning was very very delicate. we set off early and folund coffee and hot chocolate, and diesel for Gunter, and then got on the freeway to head south. The freeways in Perth are world class. They have train lines running down the median strip, and cycle and pedestrian lanes on the outside. Interchanges have train strations built into them under the cross road, and bus stations built into them on the cross road, with park and ride park built in. Very very slickly integrated transport system.
We stopped in the middle of nowhere at the midway bake house cafe - they have won best pies in Australia several times, and MAN they were awesome. Easy to figure out which one is which too...
We then headed south and drove upon a bit more excitment...
We headed down to Busselton... it's home to the longest pier in the southern hemisphere (1.8km)
There is a train that we could have taken out to the end
but we did the obligatory walk out to the end
and then had a quiet night in Gunter for the last time. A few quiet scotches and some sauteed leeks and chorizo sausage.
On the way back to Perth we took the coastal scenic route and stumbled across a huge group of scooter enthusiasts from the Pardise Lost Scooter Club
There were about 30 if them and they really had the throttles ALL the way open - some of them were touching 80kph!
Final stop was Kings Park in Perth. It's the largest CBD park in the world - larger than NYC's Central Park, and the views of Perth and the Swan River are awesome:
There was a concert on in the park that evening, but we had to get to the airport and return Gunter to Apollo, and fly home.
What a fantastic trip!
