Perth to Melbourne

[MrTim_imp]

So I mentioned way back when I made my first post in the New Members section that I was looking forward to taking my CB out on some across Australia trips, this is one of them.
I'm originally from Tasmania but I've been living in Perth, WA for almost four years now and found myself getting stuck in a rut. When I was a kid I always wanted to live in Melbourne for a period of time and I figured that if I didn't do it soon I probably never would.
This is the route that I took, showing the places where I pulled over to rest my weary head.

Before leaving WA I wanted to check out a small town called Denmark. It used to be a bit of a hippy commune and there are still shops selling "healing crystals" and other assorted gibberish, the place has a really nice vibe and quite a lot of stunning scenery.
These photos don't do justice to the beauty of Wilson Inlet, those cliffs are truly impressive and it's quite a juxtaposition to see the waves from the Southern Ocean breaking on the beach just in front of the perfectly calm inlet and sleepy little town just beyond.
I stayed at the pub in Denmark for two nights, unlike a lot of WA there are good riding roads around Denmark and I saw two large motorcycle groups come through (I was there for Saturday/Sunday), one a group of sports-bikes the other some 1%ers.
I left early on the Monday morning heading East.

I made good headway on the Monday, this was the first sign I saw with a distance to the next capital city from Perth.
I pulled up at a dirt car park just outside a town called Norseman, the starting point for "crossing the Nullarbor" if you're heading West to East. I slept in what we call a swag which is basically a small one-man, canvas tent that rolls up, it's what you can see on my luggage rack.
You can see in the second pic a hill, once I had pitched my swag I climbed to the top and watched the sunset, which was lovely. However it wasn't as nice climbing back down using the torch app on my phone to guide me, I came *this* close to walking face-first into a spider waiting in it's web.
I cuss hate spiders.
