Monday 29th Oct. 2012 Denmark, Western Australia
We have made our way slowly from Sydney across the Nullarbor to the delightful little town of Denmark. Route: Sydney - Wagga Wagga - Mildura - Port Augusta - Ceduna - Eucla - Norseman - Esperance - Albany - Denmark.
We had to dispose of our fruit and vegetables as we approached the Mildura area, due to the anti-fruitfly regulations, and then after restocking, we had to stop and eat our fruit and veg. before crossing the border at Ceduna.
We went for a ride around the outskirts of Port Augusta, which reminded us both of the Zambian copperbelt - dry and dusty, but somehow not unpleasant.
On the Nullarbor, we came across two separate sightings of emus, and surprisingly saw a lone dingo. We also saw quite a few cyclists making the big trip. We felt sorry for them, because the winds were not blowing in the right direction.
Esperance and Albany are both peaceful and beautiful with lots of good cycle tracks, but so far Denmark has the most appeal.

Sunday 14th October 2012, Mosman, Sydney.
We have had a most enjoyable four weeks relaxing in Sydney. The area around Mosman has a huge range of walks that take you all around the harbour. We haven't done any cycling, but lots of walking. We've walked into the city a couple of times and enjoyed all the sights and the Art Gallery.
Tomorrow we are leaving and heading back in a westerly direction towards Wagga Wagga and then on to Mildura , slowly making our way back towards Western Australia.
