Jerramungup, Albany, Denmark, Walople, Pemberton, Nannup

Left Jerramungup about 7.00am, we up with the birds because in Western Australia it is 4 hours behind New Zealand time. Was pretty cold this morning so it was on with all the gear to keep warm. Got into Albany for breakfast, had a look around and took some photos and then  called into the Kawasaki shop to find a part for Scott's helmet, they had something to put it back together. Then a farmer from back where we had come this morning called into the bike shop and was happy to tell us about his methods of farming, cropping etc. Most of the area on the way to Albany it cropping farms but they also run Beef and sheep. Overseas buyers are also coming into Australia with some Arab countries having just bought 3 farms in the area. The biggest threat on the road this morning was the fat little quails that kept flying across in front of us. There were so many different sorts and colours of parrots along this piece of road.

After Albany the scenery changed quite drastically, greener farms, beautiful forestry lined roads. Heading to Denmark where there was the odd dairy farm. Stopped here for a coffee and cake, chatted to a fellow biker that was traveling from Perth for a few days. The roads from Denmark  onto Walpole are towering ancient forests with the famous Tree Top Walk in the unique tingle forest 40 metres in the canopy. We didn't visit this this time as we have been there before and have some great photos.

From Walpole it was through Pemberton where we decided that we could carry on for another hour but the last 20km riding cautiously as the kangaroos were coming out onto the sides of the roads ready to bound across on unsuspecting motorists. Stopped for the night in Nunnup.
