Busselton to Perth 1981
Busselton to Perth, day 6, Saturday 28 November 1981. I had a leisurely breakfast in my room, then a morning swim, before packing up and taking what should have been the easy ride up to Bunbury.
Bunbury main street
But I was still afflicted by weariness, weakness and pain and the ankle was still going clunk, clunk with every turn of the pedals. Even this easy flat ride with what was probably (though I don’t remember) a tailwind, was a hard chore. I stopped in the Ludlow Forest, at Capel of course, and probably at Stratham, and probably had a few other rests as well.
In the early afternoon I reached Bunbury, where I bought tickets for myself and the bike on the Australind train, then went up to the ocean beach for a swim. The afternoon train got me back to Perth in time to ride home. This was during the four years that the Fremantle train was closed.
