hello ranmar850, is it good riding down in kalbarri i haven't been there scince i was 8 or 9 years old. I'm headed down to perth shortly i don't know if i'm going to attempt it on my bike yet though it's a bit of a slog on a 600cc

[ranmar850]

Yep, long way to Perth, specially on a 600-assuming it's a sports bike.It would be a big day, specially now as it's warming up, and you'll hit probably hit strong southerly headwinds. Don't want to put you off, I like to ride everywhere, but Perth is "only" 600km for me, good morning or afternoon run. It really , for me, comes down to how much crap I have to carry on any particular visit--tho with the FJR, I can now carry plenty As for what the riding is like between Carnarvon and Kalbarri--well, you'd better like wide open spaces. And straight roads. In fact from just north of the Billabong roadhouse to the breakaway country south of Wooramel, it is dead straight for almost 100k's And not a good idea to do it in the dark, either, probably--roos, sheep, goats and cattle.
