On the road the wind was howling in my face and it was just a slog. Turned left after 30 km and got off the highway and headed down Indian Ocean Drive expecting a more scenic ride around the coast. I was anticipating something like the Great Ocean Road in Victoria but it wasn’t anywhere near that interesting.
Just on 11.00 am I spotted a wind shelter in a parking area and decided to pull in there for a break. Surprise – Anna was sitting in the shelter enjoying a break. We shared a moaning session about the feral headwind and then she took off again. I lingered for a while and then hopped back on the bike.
About 15 km from Leeman a car tooted and then pulled over. Terry and Chloe who I met 3 days earlier jumped out and gave me some oranges. I told them there was another cyclist ahead who would enjoy some oranges too.
Apparently they did pull over and give Anna some oranges however to my embarrassment Terry told Anna that her boyfriend told them to stop for her. Anna thought it was pretty funny. This on the same day I was asked if I had a Seniors Card when checking at the Caravan Park.
Eventually reached Leeman which is a sleepy fishing village. I had trouble finding the caravan park so I went into the Post Office and asked for directions. When I rolled into the caravan park Anna’s tent was already set up.
After a shower I went for a walk down the beach and was lucky enough to see an osprey with a fish it had just caught. What a thrill!
Dinner in the camp kitchen Tuna, Beans and Mexican Rice. Trying to eat through my remaining food stores before Perth.
